[mythtv-users] FEs have high CPU and memory usage

I have three FEs with 2GB that slowly over the course of a week or so 
use use up all the memory and eventually crash I think may be due to 
running out of swap. The amount of memory usage seems to be related to 
the duty cycle of the FE i.e. the more that the FE is used the faster it 
uses up memory.

These systems are all running Mythbuntu 12.04 with fixes/0.27. The CPU 
usage also seems to be high on these systems when they are idle 30%-72%. 
I don't see anything in the logs that indicates what's causing the 
apparently high CPU and memory usage but I probably need to run with 
different logging options.

Is this level of CPU and memory usage normal? What would be a good 
approach to determining why these systems are using so many resources 
when idle?
