What do you mean by "too long to reload"? I would think that you would have to
wait for Banshee to fully load before you can do any of the actions you
mentioned, and once Banshee has fully loaded, the track count is listed both on
the bar at the bottom of the window, as well as the sidebar on the left.

Also, out of curiosity, what are the specs of the machine? Could you also
describe where, in the sequence of the aforementioned actions you performed, did
Banshee slow down, and how slow it was?

For the record, I have not noticed any slowness while interacting with Banshee,
and my library has 7085 songs.

Banshee's great, but since I've added a few more songs it's become unbearably slow.

Scrolling up and down the library is ok, provided it's settled for a while, However, whenever a song finishes playing or I rate a track or skip a track there's a delay whist 2 of my 8 CPU cores are maxed out. The UI takes an age to redraw or respond to clicks. The delay can be just half a second, or sometimes around 5. This usually coincides with some network activity.

It makes interacting with the application nearly unbearable. Don't want to go back to Rhythmbox, but might have to :(

I have:
* Banshee 1.6 Beta 2 (1.5.1)
* about 5,300 songs in the library
* Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic 64bit
* 6Gb of memory and an i7 920 processor

Banshee extensions running:
* Audio CD Support
* Bookmarks
* Cover Art Fetching
* DAAP
* Digital Media Player Support
* IPod Support
* Karma Support
* Mass Storage Media Player Support
* MTP Media Player Support
* File System Queue
* Internet Radio
* Last.fm Radio & Scrobbling
* Multimedia Keys
* Play Queue
* Importers for Amarok & Rhythmbox
* Podcasts
