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

[antoirehew]

Today is my first try on Banshee media player, because boredom lol, so I
guess give this baby a try on my Dell 1501 on Ubuntu 10.10 Marverick.

At first start up everything look great, audio output quality is fine,
only downside is the equaliser quality (really need to improve). Then I
realised my cpu run 102% much higher then Rytembox player.

After googling around, found this forum, any try out those suggestion on
the old post, NO luck. Then I do a check on the Extension Dialog,
wondering could be all this extensions cause the cpu run in 100%. So I
begin disable those extension that do not need (such as Pod cast, other
media player sync etc) Waula... Banshee-1 show on Top is 15.3 % cpu
utilisation.

Now I am happy

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.
