> How well does your system handle mythfilldatabase?

I ran it tonight while watching a 1080i show at 1.5X timestretch and
there were no hiccups (though of course the BE CPU went to 100% for
some time). I can only assume Myth is smart enough to give priority to
the playback thread?

Here's 'top', sorted by memory, from the BE (during the same 1080i
1.5X playback) after mythfilldatabase finished:
