[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 474514] Re: Banshee very slow when interacting with track lists

[Toby Smithe]

As you can see, more complex queries are taking thousands or tens of
thousands of ms. This makes the UI pretty much unusable. To create this
log, I started banshee, pressed play (shuffle mode, by track, is
selected), pressed next twice, scrolled the artists list, and quit
through the Media menu. My library is around 5543 tracks - I would give
the precise number, but banshee is taking too long to reload! - and
ironically, banshee receives this error when posting usage data, meaning
that fewer people see how slow it is being for me:

"Error posting metrics - System.Net.WebException: The remote server
returned an error: (503) Service Not Available. (in `System')"

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
