If I flip through multiple songs (click next repeatedly, maybe 5 times in a row) Banshee will hang for an extended period of time before working again. If that could be fixed I would be very thankful. Then there's also the searching which spikes the CPU up until I'm done typing my query. I think there should be a slight timer before you start searching, so that you don't keep beginning the search before the search string has been completely typed. -- Hyperair
