I've had very little time to trouble shoot it but in my situation it
mostly seems to happen on certain recordings. I have a Athlon X2
2.7GHz (Kuma AM2+ CPU) w/ 2GB memory (1066MHz) and 8400GS running
0.21-fixes (no additional patches) and Using Slim profile.

Regular HD content works fine, frontend stays relatively responsive. X
eats 7-14% CPU on top and mythfrontend runs 40-80%.

SD content that has been scaled up to HD seems to cause me grief. CPU
wise the tables are turned and X eats 85-97% CPU on one core and
mythfrontend is eating 7-14%. But even though only one core is maxed
out and the other is not the remote (and keyboard) will not respond
for up to 30 seconds (rarely more) but will stay responsive for a
short duration (as long as I continue to press buttons).
