I'm running the latest MythTV on an Athlon XP2100+ with a Hauppauge
WinTV/PCI card (bttv848). When Myth is recording video in full resolution
(768x576 at 2200Kbps) I have in the order of 50% free CPU time, but the
load average is sitting around 3. Generally the recording is good
although there are a few dropped frames.
Does anyone know what could be causing the high load average even though
there's loads of CPU time? Originally I suspected the hard drive
settings, but it is set to DMA mode so this shouldn't be the problem.
