2.4.20-18.8 (the latest RedHat 8 kernel). Except I recompiled it to make
serial a module, but everything else is the same.
When I was looking at all the threads in top then I quite often saw a lot
of the frontend threads go into the run queue at the same time, so I think
that's what was loading the machine up.
This may have been caused by me being really stupid... I had niced the
backend to -20 to make sure recordings were unaffected by any other
processes on the box and that might be causing the problem. I've just
reniced it to 0 and will leave it doing LiveTV all morning to see if it's
fixed the problem.
