Should this be considered normal after following the above?
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
4552 root 20 0 9349m 6.6g 5208 S 265.2 84.2 870:57.86 mythbackend
Basically doing the above made no difference. I'm not sure why no one
else is seeing this. All I have to do is watch recordings and the
memory used and CPU skyrockets.
