See 'my word'.
I saw 40%.
Now the disk is dead so sorry, you'll have to wait a while.

The system starts, mythbackend loads and runs.
We are at 9.x% or so on my 1GB system.
Yes, these numbers are from memory.
You explain why that number can easily quadruple over time for and for
waht reason. Buffers are allocated at startup. Just three channels are
recorded, 6 at maximum at any time (pre- and postroll).
So until this max usage is hit it can grow.
If the process continues to grow after this occasion we might have an issue.
If the process continues to grow at an abnormal rate we might have an issue.
(yes, opinions and they're mine)

All your process grow steadily into the double digit numbers?
So your RAM fills up or your swap does or both?
