I previously had problem with mysql running at 100% cpu and the mythfrontend becoming unresponsive for 50-60secs. I resolved the issue by changing a couple of tables (think namely program & recordmatch) from MyISAM to InnoDB storage engines. Been no problems now for quite a while. For me the issue started with 0.25 release.
