What we would need to know first is which of VDR's threads actually consumes all this CPU time. Run VDR without NPTL and use 'top' to find that out (AFAIK with NPTL all threads of a given program have the same pid, so you won't be able to distinguish them in 'top'). Then look into the log file and find out which VDR thread corresponds to the pid that consumes the most CPU time. Klaus
