Welcome to the behavior that everyone seems to have using mythbuntu and
0.22.

If anyone has a proven hack to get the CPU usage down that disables menu
animations, I'd love to know about it.  Something about myth consuming 14%
CPU no matter what the cpu or speed just doesn't seem right.   What I don't
get is how it would be possible that some have reported running 0.22 and not
see this high CPU usage.  If it is the pulse for animations as the root
cause everyone should be seeing this 14% usage with 0.22.
