That line is output right before it executes the XMLTV grabber.  Sounds 
like your XMLTV grabber takes 10 minutes to complete the download (and 
I'm assuming that's where the high CPU usage is?), then mythfilldatabase 
uses the data.  Try running the grabber from the command line--without 
mythfilldatabase--and you'll likely see similar results.
