[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 396268] Re: Banshee uses too much CPU

[Sigurd Gartmann]

For me, I think it is the Library Watcher plugin. One of my cpus get to
100% a few seconds after enabling this plugin, and it consistently drops
to a total of 5-10% when I disable it. It may be something for others to
try out as well. It behaves like this for normal 10.04 and the latest
stable ppa: banshee-team/+archive/ppa

Bug description:
Binary package hint: banshee

While playing and minimized to the system tray, Banshee uses 65-70% CPU and also pushes pulseaudio CPU usage up to around 30%. Additionally, when using "next" or "previous" buttons Banshee CPU usage goes up to 150%. Importing approximately 6000 songs took over 20 minutes, although the first 3000 or so only took about 5 minutes.

System: P4 2.8 Ghz with hyperthreading, 2GB RAM

Tested with latest Banshee from Jaunty repos and also the Banshee Team PPA version.
