Di you also update Myth at the same time, perhaps from a trunk version 
before r19069 or a -fixes version before r19222 to one after?

If so, I'd guess--especially with the "every 10 or so"--it's actually 
running gnome-screensaver-command that's causing the issue.

After the above mentioned versions of Myth, gnome-screensaver-command 
will /only/ run at most once every 30 seconds and /only/ if you actually 
have gnome-screensaver enabled and running.  Before, it ran every 
/remote button/ press or every joystick event.  Note that it does /not/ 
run for keyboard key presses.

So, if you do not see the sluggishness when using a keyboard, or if you 
can exit/kill gnome-screensaver (making sure some GNOME thing doesn't 
restart it) and restart the frontend and don't see the sluggishness, or 
if you make Myth run /bin/true instead (see 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/359904#359904 for 
more on temporarily making it run /bin/true ), then it's 
gnome-screensaver-command that's causing your system to "lock up."
