Hi Greg, FYI my box has a 2ghz celeron with 768mb ram and 2 nova-t cards in it. Running Gentoo, Kernel 2.6.11
With the backend running and 1 front end connected, but doing nothing... load average: 0.00, 0.05, 0.28 mythbackend = 0.3% CPU mythfrontend = 0% CPU Same thing but watching a recording I get... load average: 0.32, 0.79, 0.99 <-- but I've seen this shoot up to over 3 (no spike in CPU usage for the mythfrontend process tho and no adverse effects to playback) mythfrontend = 15-20% CPU mythbackend = 0.3% CPU Recording 1 show while doing nothing else (1 frontend connected just stilling at the main menu): load average: 0.07, 0.29, 0.80 mythfrontend = 0% CPU mythbackend = 1-2% CPU Recording 2 shows while doing nothing else (1 frontend connected just stilling at the main menu): load average: 0.12, 0.19, 0.53 mythfrontend = 0% CPU mythbackend = 2-3% CPU There is an initial load jump to around 0.5 when first scheduleing the recording, guessing this is down to doing some db calls, creating the file, starting the recorder.... then after a min or so it settles down to the low numbers above. Recording 2 shows with 1 frontend connected watching a recording: load average: 0.53, 1.18, 0.99 <-- seen this go higher as mentioned above mythfrontend = 15-20% CPU mythbackend = 2-3% CPU So I'd say the kernel drivers for the on board sis video chip is the only thing that bumps up my load average during play back. Running up a second frontend while recording 2 shows and therefore watching 2 recordings doesn't seem to have much effect as all its doing is streaming from the disk over the network. I'm sure the values would be a lot higher if I had any commercial flagging going on as well, but during these tests I didn't. No idea if any of that is helpful to you. Ash.
