[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 396268] Re: Banshee uses too much CPU

[Matthew Hudson]

After news that Banshee will be default for 11.04, I installed and began
enjoying the app. However, within a few hours I've run into this bug.
Turning off most of the extensions does seem to help it for me, but what
a let down. It's hard for me to nail down which extension is giving me
the most grief.

My system is an Acer Aspire 7736 w/ 4 GB of RAM, a dual-core 2.2 Ghz
Intel chip, and plenty of HD space. I do have a large music library,
clocking in at around 12-13,000 tracks (~80 GB).

Status in Banshee Music Player: Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: banshee

While playing and minimized to the system tray, Banshee uses 65-70% CPU and also pushes pulseaudio CPU usage up to around 30%. Additionally, when using "next" or "previous" buttons Banshee CPU usage goes up to 150%. Importing approximately 6000 songs took over 20 minutes, although the first 3000 or so only took about 5 minutes.

System: P4 2.8 Ghz with hyperthreading, 2GB RAM

Tested with latest Banshee from Jaunty repos and also the Banshee Team PPA version.
