This is correct. The CPU lag is mythfrontend searching for "Fanart".

Mythcenter theme doesn't support "Fanart". Mythbuntu theme does

Edit /usr/share/mythtv/themes/Mythbuntu/recordings-ui.xml
Locate the 'Fanart' block and either comment it out (using <!-- and -->) or
just delete it.
<!--
<imagetype name="fanart">
<filename>background.png</filename>
<area>0,0,1280,720</area>
<preserveaspect>yes</preserveaspect>
</imagetype>
-->
Reload mythfrontend, and the LAG should disappear. (As will the Fanart support, which
I guarantee you won't miss).
