I have same problem on 0.24, I try this script to "nice" the process
but it didn't work;:

#!/bin/bash

# Script to reduce CPU impact of preview generation at the end of a recording.
# mv /usr/bin/mythpreviewgen to /usr/bin/mythpreviewgen.real
# copy this script to /usr/bin/mythpreviewgen and make it executable,
# chmod 755 /usr/bin/mythpreviewgen

nice -n 19 mythpreviewgen.real $@

I am having this problem when a program guide change on LiveTV.

Regards.
