I'm also having some performance issues. I'm on the
daily from ubuntu ppa, but I also experienced this slowness on
1.80.
When I skip tracks, the next track starts playing instantly,
but it takes at least 3-4 seconds to highlight (turn text to
bold, and add play icon to) the next track. Furthermore, it
takes another 3-4 seconds before the Progress-bar, the track
info on the status-bar, and the cover art are updated. When the
progress bar updates, its usually already on 0:07, or 0:08.
Is this normal?
The library is about 40,000. The box is reasonably fast, an
AMD 64 X2, 4200+, plenty of RAM, fast disk, no compiz, no other
performance problems. Its Ubuntu 10.04 so i'm on sqlite
3.6.22-1.
I did not understood
what you meant but reading this entry on omgubuntu.com clarifies
things. I guess we can discuss any major performance
issues once I have ruled out all known and solved bugs
related to SQL.
Any chance that the
general performance for the final Banshee release
2.0 experiences a significant improvement? I know it
came up here
several times that for larger libraries (10000+) the
responsiveness is
rather a slow motion show than a smooth experience.
Even simplest tasks such as scrolling trough a
larger playlist and
clicking on single songs seems to be unnecessarily
slowed down.
Especially for Meego devices, I feel this is a major
issue that needs to
be addressed and would have a high impact on user
experience.
The best way you can help out is:
a) ensuring that you are on a non-broken SQLite
(on the 3.7.x series this would mean 3.7.3)
b) running the daily ppa and helping identify
specific slow scenerios we can fix. e.g.:
Finally I have a little patch to Hyena that will
fire a log message every time you hit an SQL query
longer than a given number of milliseconds which I
personally find informative as to when we are doing
a lot of work. You could apply that.
