Is it that mythbackend doesn't show or that the CPU% isn't what it
should be?  If I do top, then hit `u' (to show processes for a single
user), enter `mythtv' when prompted, mythbackend shows, only with a CPU%
of 0.

  Why is %CPU underreported for multi-threaded (Java, etc.) apps?

  Currently, the kernel does not provide a reasonable way to get this
  information.
