Re: [Banshee-List] something changed so program kills system

["Ben Parsons" <ben parsons web googlemail com>]

Hi,

I've been seeing this as well, not sure but I think 3 days sounds
abuot right. I've been letting Edgy do it's own thing (upgrade
whenever it likes) for a couple of weeks now though, and so many
things have broken I thought nothing of it. Basically, Banshee takes
several minutes on the splash screen, then maxes out my CPU, eats
100mb+ of RAM. However, the system doesn't crash, eventually the
program loads and runs as normal after all this.

Not sure if this is a Mono bug (since I haven't altered banshee), but
F-Spot is not displaying any symptoms. I'm not sure what info would be
most useful for me to contribute for debugging - I haven't really
investigated myself since I was willing just to blame it on the Ubuntu
updates and be patient. :)

thanks, Ben.

(I've been a lurker here for a while, but this is my first post. I'm
slowly learning C#/Mono and intend to contribute something at some
point.)
