Comment(by udo):

 I built a fresh svn checkout of mythtv-fixes on 11 october 2008.
 I installed it on the 12th of october.
 Some early figures:

 %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME
  8.9 11.2 435760 108728 ?       Ssl  Oct12 122:07
  9.2 14.3 466100 139272 ?       Ssl  Oct12 259:58
  9.4 15.7 480016 152884 ?       Ssl  Oct12 399:55

  9.7 20.0 521500 194544 ?       Ssl  Oct12 837:01

 It still keeps on growing....

 Just 1 Terratec Cinergy 1200 DVB-T card with 7 virtual tuners of which 3
 are more or less 24/7 recording 3 TV channels off of one multiplex.
 Back to back programs overlap 2 minutes max (1 minute at begin, 1 minute
 at the end).
 The machine has 1GB of RAM and is running on a VIA Epia EN12000.
