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

[Ton van den Heuvel]

I disabled all plugins and CPU usage is now around 17% (down from
~100%), but I still consider this a bug. 17% CPU utilization for playing
an MP3 is not acceptable IMO.

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.
