[mythtv-users] High CPU utilziation

[Chris Pinkham]

The commercial detection thread also performs a sleep after processing
each frame, so if you see a niced mythbackend and it's using 100% cpu
it must be stuck in a loop somewhere.  I fixed a couple places where
this could happen just a few days ago.

Are you running current CVS or is it a few days old?
