[mythtv-users] Can I decompose load on CPUs during VDPAU SPDIF playback?

[Dave Richardson]

 I've just recently received an 0.24Fixes update and my FE VDPAU/SPDIF 
 playback has degraded from the good performance I had before.

 My Load Average ('top') is very high, over 1.00 - often near 1.5

 I don't understand, no errors in the frontend log.

 Is there a way to figure out whether it's the video or audio tasks that 
 are creating such load?

 top - 17:47:17 up 32 min,  3 users,  load average: 1.77, 1.43, 1.01
