I experienced the same when giving these parameters to vlc:
"-I rc --fake-tty --extraintf http"

I looked in the code and saw that there is some kind of active idle loop
when waiting for input. A select statement or likewise would be nice to have
there.

Nevertheless there comes a solution if you don't need the rc interface:
"-I dummy --extraintf http"

This solved this problem for me, running vlc 0.7 and 0.7-1 cvs. Now I have
11 vlc running on a PIV 2.6 with at least two actively streaming and a lot of IO 
traffic and a load of 4. With the -I rc --fake-tty combination the load rose
linear to the number of vlc started.

Bye,
Torsten
