 This sample shows zero growth in the memory requested by mythbackend.

 It seems you are confused by the meaning of the numbers here so I'll
 explain. VSZ is the total size of the libraries, executable, heap, and
 stack. This has not grown at all, which means MythTV has not requested any
 memory while recording 358 hours of programming per tuner. RSS is the the
 resident set, this is the actual RAM that the MythTV process has access
 to. This is allocated by the operating system based on what else you have
 running. RSS will never grow beyond VSZ.
