Top didn't really show anything using the CPU all that much that I could tell. Also my cpu fan didn't turn up to higher speeds, which normally that load average for any more than a few minutes would at least kick it up a notch or two. Right now it is sitting "idle" at 0.5 which I would still consider higher than it should be, top showing mythfrontend and mythbackend using 1% of the cpu and nothing else really anything. Isn't the load average more than just cpu usage and can be impacted by io waits and other factors? Maybe there isn't something sitting in the cpu queue but instead waiting for some sort of io that is delayed, and would also explain why the load is higher but my cpu is not hotter.
