<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>A little more information on this problem… I watched
of full half hour of a 720p recording. mythfrontend was consistently around 45
%CPU usage. And then, about half of the time Xorg %CPU usage would jump up from
near 0 %CPU usage to 50% consuming all available idle cycles. At the time
this occurs, the video is a little jerky and audio with occasionally skip,
where as both had been very good previously. At the time of this high Xorg
%CPU usage, X stdout scrolls this continuously for minutes at a time:</span></font></p>
