So:

I posted a png of my figures and a graphic at:

You will see the growth of various parameters over time, measured each
morning, for the mythbackend process.

I monitored the data using a small cronjob:
$ crontab -l
4 5 * * * /bin/ps aux|/bin/grep /usr/bin/mythbackend|/bin/grep -v grep
>> ~/psmyth.txt

If your machine shows similar growth (can be less growth or more growth
but growth nonetheless) you are invited to run valgrind on that machine
if it is powerfull enough. [My VIA EN12000 board can't run Mythbackend
and valgrind at the same time reliably.]

You can start a valgrind session using:

`valgrind mythbackend *insert normal startup params here*`

If you have logs showing leaks you can help the developers by letting
them know where to find the logs so they can have a look and possibly
fix the leak.

Kind regards,
