I know in theory it should only eat idle time but... Just after I've loaded the modules (CVS as of a week ago) they eat about 45% of the CPU according to top..
This is on a P4 2gig.. and the machine feels slow.. infact very slow.. loading mozilla takes a significantly longer time.. as does displaying fast text (ie ls -asl of a big dir) in an xterm.. the moment a channel is tuned it drops down.. It is worrying that my machine becomes slightly crippled if the aerial is removed :) Are there not timeouts, or better still the ability to zigzag based on an flag set(ioctl) or only when a device is in use? Usually, when I am not using the dvb stuff, I remove the modules..
