I did a seven minute session where I had 5 test recordings which started one minute apart and ended at the same time. After each recording had started I tested the responce of remote by just pussing menu button. After three recordings there began to be delay in menu appearance and after fourth recording the menu came up in pieces and after fifth recording there were no menu or if it ever did appear after several menu presses it was incomplete. This can be seen in the log (timeout waiting in LoadBitmap). Playback of a recording started to have small problems after third recording started and with four and five simultaneous recordings you really do not want to wath a movie like that.
If I were you, I'd run OProfile only during the heavy-load situation (3 recordings running, when you are browsing the EPG menu. I'd try something like this:
opcontrol --reset sleep 2;opcontrol --start;sleep 20;opcontrol --stop
After that, you have 2 seconds to start browsing the EPG and 20 seconds to keep browsing. (Or to start playback and keep watching it.)
After this is done, look at
opreport -l /path/to/vdr | less
Obviously, you should compile vdr with debugging symbols enabled (CFLAGS and LDFLAGS containing -g).
I'll lose this mail account at the end of this month, and I think I will unsubscribe from most mailing lists, including this one. We can continue this off-list. You can find my email address at the bottom of my home page, http://www.iki.fi/~msmakela/.
