This is correct.  The CPU lag is mythfrontend searching for "Fanart".

Mythcenter theme doesn't support "Fanart".  Mythbuntu theme does

Edit /usr/share/mythtv/themes/Mythbuntu/recordings-ui.xml

Locate the 'Fanart' block and either comment it out (using <!-- and -->) or
just delete it. 

<!--
        <imagetype name="fanart">
            <filename>background.png</filename>
            <area>0,0,1280,720</area>
            <preserveaspect>yes</preserveaspect>
        </imagetype>
-->

Reload mythfrontend, and the LAG should disappear.  (As will the Fanart support, which
I guarantee you won't miss).
