[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 638060] Re: banshee uses all available CPU and RAM in 10.10 beta

[T Kortehisto]

The resource use of banshee 1.8.0 with Maverick is normal. No more
scanning of my external hard drives and CPU usage is 6-12% while memory
required is 40-60 MB making Banshee is usable again. Thanks!

Bug description:
Binary package hint: banshee

Since I updated to Maverick beta, Banshee has become totally unusable. 
It uses all available RAM and CPU to try to scan all my external hard drives for music (and video) files. Even without playback Banshee's CPU use is 60-120% and playback is intolerable, because it is intermittent. During playback its CPU use is always 120-170% and it uses over 5 GB of memory! 

Disabling the Library Watcher -extension does not change Banshee's behaviour. However, if I remove all external hard drives, Banshee plays nicely with CPU use of 6-8% and RAM 50-60 MB. But if I remount even one drive, CPU and RAM usage increase rapidly making the computer drowsy.
