MC doesn't behave nicely doing resource intensive tasks
flac.rules:
When MC is doing very intensive tasks that takes a while. For instance changing to a library with a lot of files and on a network. It has the tendency to "hang up" the whole system. The screen can freeze, network traffic can be disturbed and so on. It ends as soon as it is finished with the task. Could this be improved?
JimH:
It's up to the OS to allocate resources appropriately.
Other possible factors are antivirus and NAS bandwidth. Audio Analysis and thumbnailing could be turned off to help.

I am sure it is, nevertheless, it is the only program I have that exhibits this behavior, and it seems to be doing it on all computers in the situation i described. And as a user, I can't reprogram the OS.
There is no AV running, and bandwidth is 1 gigabit. (the bandwidth itself doesn't seem to be the problem though, there isn't huge amounts of data moving in the situation it seems like).

OS, antivirus, network bandwidth, etc....
I can confirm... in the last weeks I setup MC23 on almost 5 different computers, from a low cost 400€ Intel Atom to a very expensive and powerfoul Intel i7.
Every time MC has to deal with a network, regadless the speed of the netowork and/or the NAS... it hangs until its job is finished.
Moreover the MC23 GUI expands to the full screen, becomes blurry and overlap the Windows taskbar.
It is not a matter of CPU or memory or network... it is a MC matter.
I have the responsability to manage 46.000 PC worlwide running hundreds of different applications and I never see a beahviour like this.
right now I am on the Intel i7, 32 GB RAM, it is a graphic workstation, connected to an enterprise grade NAS and 1 Gbps bandwidht fully avaialble. I loaded 500 GB of audio tracks... whenever I change the folder... MC23 starts "thinking", freezes, expands the windows and generally hangs until job finished. AV completely turned off (service disabled).
No problem at all browsing the very same music archive with a Raspberry running freeware software.
Let me say that MC is really a nice program, I love the theatre view (I got the license for this reason) but can be improved really a lot.
All the above problems do not appear with local files.

Still an OS issue. Sorry.
