--fps (to lower the sampling rate from the default, so that
recordmydesktop is less likely to steal CPU resources from the activity
being demonstrated)

--no-sound (if there is no need for audio capture, e.g. if you are
making a visual only without voiceover)

--workdir (somewhere other than /tmp if more space than tmpfs has
allocated is needed, depends on the recording length and rate of screen
change, suggest monitoring available space during a test recording,
suggest using USB HDD /media/* on XO-1.5 to avoid slow SD),
