Have you tried running mythfilldatabase at a low priority? This should 
resolve your problem if it is caused by CPU contention (rather than IO 
contention).

To do so invoke mythfilldatabase by prefixing it with the "nice" 
command, like so:

	nice mythfilldatabase [arguments to mythfilldatabase]

or if you want to specify a specific niceness level

	nice -19 mythfilldatabase [args]

Hope this helps.
