Here's another data point (an AMD64 3000+ box with 1GB RAM, 3 DVB-T
cards, 1 PVR-150 used sparingly, no multirec enabled):

USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START
TIME COMMAND
root     11734  1.2 35.7 1588472 370512 ?      Ssl  Apr11 1195:07
/usr/local/bin/mythbackend --daemon --logfile
/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log -v important,general --pidfile
/var/run/mythbackend.pid --noupnp

The current mythbackend process has been running for 2 months - is
that reasonable memory usage?
