[linux-dvb] Driver CPU requirements?



Hi,

I was just updating my Gentoo Linux based VDR box and noticed that
compiling new software raised the system load to 2.5 and above.
Eventually the system over heated, I guess, since the compiler exited
with Sig11. 

I killed VDR and unloaded the driver and retried. The system load stayed
below 1.5 and all compilations were finished ok. 

So I'm wondering is the driver enforcing a lot of context switches,
which, I guess, would explain the high load during compiling, or am I
just experiencing some weird anomaly?

br, Lauri
