[mythtv-users] 0.19 Program Guide slowness...

I too notice a slow response when I click "Listings"
on the web page.  If I click "listings" and view top
at the same time, mysqld uses a large amount of CPU
(70-98%) for about 12 seconds, then, httpd uses a
large amount of CPU (~99%) for a couple seconds
followed by galeon (my web browser) using a large
amount of CPU (~99%) for about 1-2 seconds.  I really
don't know why displaying the listings should take so
much CPU usage, especially with mysqld--the search
should be simple, right?

Anyway, I have an Intel Celeron 2.4GHz
processor--should be plenty for mysqld and httpd, I
would think.  

Also, after about two years, my nightly mysql dump
(mysqldump -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg) text output
is about 389 MB.  

Any ideas out there of what might be wrong?
