I agree with you, I believe this is an IVTV issue even though
mythbackend shows up in top as the process getting all the cpu time.
If it was really in mythbackend, oprofile would not have showed all
the counts in the kernel. I believe I was using a pretty recent
version of ivtv, the FC4 version from atrpms stable (I don't think I
was using testing).
