Is anyone else experiencing this?
This occured with version after the 18th May, I think with SVN <=25th May.

I'm not using dvbt epg updates. Nor is there anything in the logs to indicate any software errors/exceptions. I've also disabled powermanagement. All process plugins are disabled apart from "tv.com parser" which won't disable.

I appreciate dailybuilds come with no guarantees, but I've been tracking this bug for a couple of weeks and I should raise it if it's not already understood.

Using sysinternals processexplorer:

Every 5 seconds:
CPU usage jumps from 25% to >80% sometimes maxing out CPU with obvious results of interrupted streams.
(The extra time is spent in the kernel.)

Examining the exe, the spike corresponds to this entry point:
mscorwks.dll!CreateApplicationContext
with massive number (hundreds) of context switches.
It's hard to get timing right - but thread stack may indicate it corresponds to sql access.
(This profile has same characteristics as dvb-t epg downloads which always caused me this sort of spiking, except this is disabled)
