If that's the case, disable showing pixmaps for the Recorded Programs
view of MythWeb in MythWeb settings.
As others have said, creating a single, small preview at the end of
recording/commercial detection/transcoding isn't much of a resource
drain, so we always do that so a "default" preview is available, and
there's no need for a setting to disable this. It only becomes a
problem when something like MythWeb decides to show you all of your
recordings and creates new, differently-sized previews for each and your
backend(s) can't keep up with the requests. So, if you find them of no
use whatever, tell MythWeb not to show them.
