I noticed today that during recording of one channel and watching a recording exactly every minute enigma2 process goes to around 90 % and lasts for 12-13 seconds, so total load goes near 100% and makes nothing else responds like remote control.

I have had this problem once before but do not remember if I used Newnigma2 or LT image but after loading DMM image and the Newnigma2 again problem was gone.

This problem is now ALL the time even when only watching and also when in standby.

I actually flashed with 2.6 again and did the online update but still the problem.
Then I flashed the DMM original in that image enigma2 process is about only 10 percent.
OK lets try Newnigma2 2.7 again but the same problem is still occurring.

Flashed 2.7 clean running wizard only to set language.

Playing a recorded program currently, this is the load at the moment.

Things that i restored.
Bouquet
Timer
Key/Emu

Did a channelsearch which failed.
Rebooted
Installed new DVB modules from online update.
Rebooted
It seems that my channels in my Bouquet list was searched so now I have working channels.

And current load is:

Is swap file needed in this image?

Now I have extremely low enigma2 process load BUT the biggest difference is that I do NOT have 2SUB plugin installed.

I am no longer using 2SUB plugin.

But 2.8 image seems to be very low CPU intensive

And at the moment 1 PC is streaming a recorded movie while i am replaying a movie when it is being recorded.

Very good image 2.8 it seems.
