With this huge mass of channels I don't wonder.

No solution, but perhaps a workaround: Increase the time between the scans
from vdradmin. On my own system, vdradmin scans only every hour:
  AT_TIMEOUT = 60
Even longer timeouts, four or eight hours, would last for many people.

Also the EPG is reloaded via SVDRP every 10 minutes by default, which you can
increase e.g. to 30 minutes:
  CACHE_TIMEOUT = 30

Remember that vdradmin will perhaps miss the one or other event because the
time between show-up in EPG and next run of AutoTimer is too long.

Bye,
