Hmmm, the only thing that comes to mind where 20 seconds would be
involved is the EIT scanner.

Does your system have more than one DVB card? If so, could you set the
"Setup/EPG/EPG scan timeout" parameter to 0 and see if these load peaks
still happen?

That would be consistent with assuming that the EIT scanner causes the peaks,
since cEITScanner::Process() is called from the main VDR thread.
