CPU Usage Grows over time

I restart sage and I can
* Record one show from HDPVR
* Record one show from hdhome run

Play back one show on hd extender

My CPU usage is real low.. As low as 3-4% high as 20%

However over time I see the CPU usage go up to 50% with peaks of 80-90%

I am on the latest release canidate with an updated extender. I think this started with one of my last updates about 2 weeks ago but not 100% sure.

I dont see anything weird in the log but wondering where I should start looking..

Yes.. that is sage usage only.. right now it is going from 4% to 50% all by itself.

I have a feeling the hdhomerun causes the demand spikes. I have been watching it tonight and when I only run the hdpvr the usage seems to stay stable and under 20%...

when I fire up a channel that uses the hdhomerun it jumps all over the place...


I am running a pent 4 - 3 ghz...

I am running comskip too but that task is at low priority... I have been running comskip 4 months and dont remember this when I started running comskip.

Is there any way to tell what tasks inside sage are using what resources? I have lastest firmware for the hdhomerun I believe but will double check shortly.

How much memory are you using? If there isn't enough memory, the computer might be caching to disk continuously, which could be causing the CPU consumption to increase.

If I wanted to roll this back it is at simple as installing the old version over this one?

I suspect Comskip to be honest. I run a p4 3.0 ghz machine with 1 GB ram and it runs both Sage and CQC on it. I have a HDHR and a HD-PVR and have playback via a HD-100 extender. I don't see that type of CPU fluctuations. But I don't run comskip either.

I will suspend comskip by changing the rules that trigger it but I dont think it is the issue...

This is my sage cpu usage that is jumping all around. I have sage is on normal priority and comskip on low priorit. In theory I dont think that comskip should slow sage down with those settings. Am I wrong?

I have been running sage for a year, comskip for 4 months and noticed this problem only in the past two weeks.

Around that time I did sage and cqc upgrade

Is it possible for me to roll this back without much issue? I do ghost the PC weekly but I assume if I go back to a older ghosted version that will cause issues for the index of my recorded shows? Recorded shows are on another drive so it is the index that I would want to recover.
