Should this be considered normal after following the above?

PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
4552 root      20   0 9349m 6.6g 5208 S 265.2 84.2 870:57.86 mythbackend

Basically doing the above made no difference. I'm not sure why no one
else is seeing this. All I have to do is watch recordings and the
memory used and CPU skyrockets.
