[mythtv-users] Mythfrontend idle cpu consumption help

[jansenj]

1. changing distro isn't much of a fix.
2. I've noticed I can get rid of the problem if I change my gui size from
full screen to a size that matches the theme's default resolution.

I have a 1920x1080 screen using mythcenter-wide ( which might have a native
resolution of 1280x720).  If I change my GUI to not be full screen, but
rather 1280x720 on my 1920x1080 screen, CPU usage drops back to where I
would expect it to be.  And the same behavior is with terra theme as well.

Is it possible there is something that is trying to reconvert the something
on the screen at the refresh rate of the screen? And if the graphic is
displayed in its native resolution it doesn't need converting?  Just
stabbing in the dark.  Maybe someone else can try this and report their
results.
