The problem with Istanbul is that is use a very low quality for Theora 
compression and it has no way to change that.
You can use gtk-RecordMyDesktop instead (I believe it does not work with 
sound, so you will have to record the sound separately, Istanbul used to 
have the same bug) and leave the quality at 100%. The result will be a 
much better looking video and less CPU consumption while recording.
