Starting a new thread per request.
I have a bunch of audio files and images loaded into the database. I noticed that MC will save 3 different copies of a thumbnail depending on the view size in one directory.
Well, when I start MC, I have no problems. It loads in about 3 secs which is good. Right now, I have it set to start in Playing Now. I have it cleared. Mem usage starts at around 5MB. After about 5mins, just sitting there, it's now up to 27MB. Remember, I'm not doing anything, no plugins, no files displayed, etc. VM Size is at 30MB.
When I close MC, it takes forever. I'm talking at least 2-5mins. And again, this is just opening, then closing right away. CPU usage is at 01 to 03. Memory is at a constant. Lots of HD usage at this time. I can hear it.
I have a little over 81,000 thumbnails in that directory. I did a reformat thinking it was my system. Installed xp pro sp1, did all the updates, driver updates, ntfs, etc.
Anyone have a lot of thumbnails and experiencing this problem? How many thumbnails do you have and how long does it take to close?
