I was referring to the frontend there.  I have spearate
frontend/backend machines...my mythfrontend process has been running
since 11/28 (2 weeks):

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
10172 mythtv    20   0  316m 160m  14m S    0 31.9   1751:17

free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached

...and the backend which has been running since 12/2 (10 days):
