[mythtv-users] Long delays with remote occasionally

A month ago I implemented the wonderful patch that Josh provided.  It
worked perfectly for a solid month but now, without doing any system
updates or changes, I am getting pauses on "skip forward" commands of
perhaps 5 seconds.  I do see that my son installed some firefox
plug-ins but this was done from within firefox so that probably isn't
a problem.   These pauses are happening every day now and represent an
extremely noticeable change in behavior.

The frontend log shows some items that may be happening about the same
"releasing zombie picture".  Could this have something to do with it.
Below is the entire frontend log for AI last night where this happened
twice as I recall.  We took a couple of breaks and paused the show so
I guess that is what the DPMS messages are.

I searched "releasing zombie picture" but didn't find anything
addressing it.  I would appreciate knowing if this is happening to
others and if there is a fix.
