After the update, was it perhaps building locate or man page indexes? Or maybe some other background activity?

Actually it looks like the numbers are a bit lower than they were when I
first installed, but still higher than I would think and idling machine
should be at. I am running 3.2.0-24 kernel. When I first installed this
version the load average was between .7 and .8, I have run Myth back to
.22 I think? I don't remember them ever being that high just at idle.
Today they are in the .3s. When I took this my box had only been up 3.5
hours, it turns itself on right before I get home and shuts itself off
late on work nights, so I generally don't have it up for more than 3
days at a time over a weekend.

 From /proc/cpuinfo:
vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
cpu family      : 15
model           : 35
model name      : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+
stepping        : 2

    I don't know if my top screenshot came through on my last email, but
    I am attaching it again if not.  It appears that Mythfrontend is
    using the majority of the cpu.  I haven't actually tried killing
    that process yet to see if the load comes down to something I would
    expect.  I would definitely be interested in your numbers.  And like
    you I have dual HD ATSC tuners on my backend/frontend combo.  I have
    noticed the load up to and above 2.00 since the upgrade on that
    machine during recording/watching TV.  The machine seems to
    definitely be keeping up but I am obviously nearing my threshold on
    my dual core proc.  Seems like such unnecessary high utilization
    when I was seeing things so low before the upgrades.

        I did the upgrade about two weeks ago and noticed the same
        thing. I did a clean install of Mythbuntu 12.04, my load average
        was pretty low, 0.10s or something (in previous versions) when
        it was doing nothing and now it sits around 0.8 to 1.0 when
        doing nothing. I have dual hdtv inputs and it still seems to be
        able to keep up recording on both and playing back a recording
        while running mythcomflag, so I haven't really concerned myself
        with it. Also my cpu fan does not turn on to higher speeds even
        though typically it would, so I presumed the load number is just
        wrong, and not that the load is really that high. If I look at
        top or iotop they are sitting pretty idle as well.

        I also have an AMD CPU, I forget which exact one but I can send
        my system info once I get home if it helps. I presume this to be
        an ubuntu problem though.

            I have noticed that after I updated from Mythbuntu 11.10 and
            MythTV 0.24 to 12.04/0.25 that my load averages are much
            higher. I am running AMD Athlon X2 260 processor. Before the
            upgrade, with Mythfrontend idle, I would see a load average
            of no more than 0.05. Now I am seeing the below average when
            idle with much higher loads when actually watching
            something. I am curious if you guys have noticed anything
            similar?
