I have one of each. They netboot from the same image, so the software
shouldn't be significantly different. I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 Myth .22. The one
that is at 0% is an AMD X2 3800+ on an Asus M3N78 w/2GB RAM. 512MB is
dedicated to the onboard video with VDPAU. I believe it's also at the
MythVideo menu at the moment, while the other one using more CPU is at the
main Myth menu. No idea if that's significant. I never noticed the extra CPU
use at the menus. Not a big deal to me, though it is surprising. I wouldn't
have expected the CPU to be more than a few % busy sitting at a menu.

As sdkovacs mentioned, I think the machine using higher CPU is using the QT
painter. I'm quite sure the other one is using OpenGL. Could that be the
difference?
