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

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).

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