[Bug 108573] amarok uses 100% CPU for 60sec at startup in gnome

[Janne Hyötylä]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amarok

I'm using Feisty with Gnome.
Amarok version:
Qt: 3.3.7
KDE: 3.5.6
Amarok: 1.4.5

Every time I start amarok, it uses almost 100% CPU for about a minute.
During this time amarok is not ready. Only some buttons and menus are
displayed, the main playlist window remains blank. After 1 minute I can
use amarok normally.

This happened sometimes with Edgy (also amarok 1.4.5 from external
repo), but now with Feisty this happens every time. It doesn't matter if
it starts iconified or maximized. It does not make a difference when
started for the first time or started immediately again after closing
it.

Only CPU usage spikes, there is none hard drive activity. Disabling
"Watch folders for changes" in the configuration did not help.

I have 4000 songs in the collection, using SQLite. The processor is a
Athlon XP 2500+, so that should not be a problem. For any other info you
need, please ask.

Here is the output when started from console:
