[mythtv-users] can we all get together and figure out cpu usage - Please respond

[jasonmiller]

Somewhat of a shot in the dark but I've seen this same thing happen with a completely unrelated piece of software where the version of QT plus other mitigating factors caused ridiculously high cpu usage in X.  You might try correlating the problem to QT version as well.

I had high X server CPU utilization until I lowered
the resolution from 1280x1024 to 1024x768 and dropped
from 24-bit to 16-bit per pixel. Using glxgears as a
video benchmark, I doubled my performance with those
two changes. X cpu use is now negligible. This was on
a GeForce2 MX (nforce chipset).

I still have very high mythbackend CPU usage for my
hardware/software, even though it is nearly identical
to some other configurations.

Wally, like you, I am still looking to solve some
issues. I agree with the others that you should comb
the archives for various solutions and see if you can
get anything to work. Every week or so a couple of new
ideas pop-up in this mailing list which gives me hope
that eventually I will get this solved.
