Does it not strike anyone else that this kind of memory requirement for
a STB is absolutely ridiculous?

OK, 1.5GB is probably overkill, but the 256MB I have in my FE/BE has, as
of 0.20, become far too small to be able to run a full myth system in.
Even with a 1G of swap, during a mythfilldatabase the machine thrashes
the swap and frequently the OOM killer is invoked and ends up killing
mysqld.

Why is Myth using so much memory as of 0.20?

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND           
 6846 root       0   0  165m  39m  11m S  0.0 15.9 365:30.06 mythfrontend       
 8153 root       0   0  206m  15m   9m S  0.0  6.4  11:44.56 mythbackend        

Like seriously... 206MB for the backend and 165M for the frontend?

Is this just my system or are most peoples 0.20 systems showing the same
kind of memory use?
