Banshee 0.99 is too slow to use on the old PC that
I use as a soundbridge, like 60+ secs between track playback. I use 0.13
and it's acceptable. (set up is xubuntu on a 300Mhz, 128MB laptop). 0.99
looks really great and I'd like to use it, but as it is it won't work for
me.
At a guess, I'd say the problem appears to be
massive amounts of disk / memory swapping while it searches for the next track -
almost as if its stepping through a database stored on disc
On the Ubuntu forums, I posted this issue a few
weeks ago and was << I think there are plans ahead to reduce the CPU and
memory footprint of Banshee when it approaches 1.0.
Right now we're still in Beta 1.>> (I've since tried 99.2)
Questions: Is this a known issue? Will
it be fixed? Is there anything I can do to make 0.99 useable?
Thanks, Geoff
