I think this is an important finding.  If autoshutdown was the culprit, I 
would have expected CPU usage to drop below 5%; OTOH, if another part of 
Freevo was at fault, disabling autoshutdown should not make such a big 
difference.

So I see two explanations left:

a) My computer is much too slow.  I do not see how that could be the case; 
today I made sure that the processor is not throttled, and a Celeron at 2 Ghz 
should be enough IMHO.  But maybe I am overlooking some other strange 
condition.

b) Something generates way too many events.  AFAIK autoshutdown has to process 
each and every event in order to reset the shutdown timer, so that could be 
the reason why it doubles the CPU usage.

Oh, BTW I recently wrote about "freevo cache" which crashes here, but only 
after running for several hours.  I wonder if it is normal for it to run 
around six hours (pure processor time >3 hours), obviously it takes very long 
to index images (photos and cover images).  If that's not normal, that would 
make a) more likely.  I have 1325 photos and 655 cover images in the indexed 
directories.
