Don't know if this is at all connected. Had my system for 14 months.
Been ruuning .25-fixes since its release.

Tonight I was recording to shows and suddenly the system went
sluggish. Top was showing loads of 45+.

Mythfrontend at 76% cpu
backend at 58
two ksoftirqd's at 30 and 20%
commflag at 12%

Never seen anything like this. Record two shows all the time. Just
killed one of the recording and I'm still as a load of 23.

Any ideas? Any more info you need from me?
