This, I would say, is all just normal operation--Myth would benefit from
the design improvement that http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7525 will
attempt to implement. I.e. you guys don't have an issue so much as have
a "feature request." :)

What I suspect may be a problem with eglibc is the 100% CPU usage caused
by mythfrontend (not some other runaway process :), which is especially
apparent with some themes.
Then again, it could well be kernel issues (such as the broken NFS
caching issue others have mentioned).
Basically, there are way too many people grouping many different
symptoms together as "Mythfrontend idle CPU consumption" issues.
