Incorrect.
The 'mix' in Mixmonitor() is that two legs of a call are mixed
together as the recording happens.

It is Monitor() that works in the way you describe, although 'high cpu
load' is dependent on how you mix. It would be 'bursty' cpu load if
you choose to mix as soon as a recording completes.

Since Mixmonitor() is mixing as the recording happens, there is
instantly a retrievable recording when the recording completes.
