And neither do I. I dug into it a bit and found that the load was created
by the SVDRP socket handling, but suddenly I can't reproduce it anymore. A
random recompile and it's gone, VDR is again responsive and the load is
normal. Weird.

The gray image is however reproducible every time, is this maybe a known
buglet with the DVB drivers?
