[mythtv-users] Backend "Idle" processor usage

[Dave Ansell]

Yes,  0.6 to 0.7 is the load average.

"Top" shows   several  mythbackend processes using 5-6% CPU each and some 
bits of CPU for the cx88_dvb driver  (I have 2 Hauppauge Nova-T cards 
fitted)

The only thing I can think it might be doing is refreshing DBV-T EPG data, 
but still that seems a lot of CPU to do that.
