In addition to the logs requested on the ticket, please check the cron
jobs configured for all users on your system to see if any are set to
run every minute. This sounds a /lot/ like your system just does
something else--completely non-Myth-related--each minute. It may not
show up on top/system monitor, depending on what type of resource usage
it is (i.e. may be disk I/O or network I/O or ...).

Well, I have some serious problems with xscreensaver as well (it
_sometimes_ activates during replay even though myth pokes it
regularly). I was thinking of replacing it with gnome screensaver but
after this #7380 I no longer think about it.

Given that even mplayer (as an external player) cannot deactivate the
screensavers properly without side effects I thought it was best if we
removed all screensavers (on standalone frontends) and added an own
simple screensaver to MythFrontend (with automatic shutdown after a
period of inactivity, because that's the only reason why I have a
screensaver installed - to turn off the mythfrontend automatically).

This is just an idea (without a patch), not feature request...
