Hello,

I actually recognized that my VDR consumes much CPU load. I used 1.2.24 and updated now to 1.2.28, but the problem still is the same. I also deactivated the epgsearch plugin which I am normally using for the following tests. The PC has a Dual Core CPU with 2 x 1,8GHz and 2GB RAM.

# ps -T u -C vdr USER PID SPID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 11975 11975 48.6 4.5 400564 92564 pts/4 Sl+ 00:52 0:51 ./vdr -w 60 --vfat -c /transfer/video -v /transfer/video root 11975 11980 6.3 4.5 400564 92564 pts/4 Sl+ 00:52 0:06 ./vdr -w 60 --vfat -c /transfer/video -v /transfer/video root 11975 11981 1.8 4.5 400564 92564 pts/4 SNl+ 00:52 0:01 ./vdr -w 60 --vfat -c /transfer/video -v /transfer/video root 11975 11982 0.0 4.5 400564 92564 pts/4 Sl+ 00:52 0:00 ./vdr -w 60 --vfat -c /transfer/video -v /transfer/video

I attached the syslog lines of the last VDR start-up. To my shame, I can't say when it started to use so much CPU. I set up MRTG several month ago, but it looks like I didn't check its results afterwards since the actual CPU graph is very strange (25% load the last 5 hours and also now, nevertheless top says about 60-70% for VDR).

# top Cpu(s): 34.9%us, 37.8%sy, 0.0%ni, 27.3%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 2053476k total, 1411556k used, 641920k free, 127176k buffers Swap: 4192248k total, 74988k used, 4117260k free, 567280k cached

This shows half user / half system load. Pretty strange.
