[mythtv-users] Viewing recorded programs page in mythweb is slow

Mythweb is designed to run on systems other than the master backend -- 
don't even need to have mythtv installed on the mythweb host (thus, it's 
blissfully unaware of pixmaps in the recordings directory)

Mythweb checks the modification timestamp for the recording in the 
database and compares it with the creation date of the thumbnail.  If 
the thumbnail is too old, it requests a new one from the backend.  This 
means that either your database is somehow corrupt and has timestamps 
set in the future, or you're changing (that include playing) the recordings.
