Are you using UseEvents True ?

This generally reduces CPU load, but of course the question is if things were 
working initially, what changed?

Did you upgrade your drivers or anything like that.

I have noticed that chronic updaters (and I include myself) seem to get into 
trouble with MythTV a lot. Basically if it's working leave it alone, 
something hard for a lot of us Linux users :-)
