mythbackend is a single (multi-threaded) process.

As for slimming down the number of threads, the only thing I think you 
could do is turn off automatic commercial flagging & automatic 
transcoding.  Other than that, AFAIK there are no "optional" threads 
(at least in the sense that you can't disable them without re-coding 
mythbackend).
