Title: MC11 slow
Post by: Jaqqe on October 26, 2004, 11:17:51 am
Noticed that MC11 became REALLY slow in every way after yesterday. I have 11.0.109. The only thing I can think of is that I imported lyrics from internet to about 400 songs. Could this be the reason for the slowness ?

The slowness can be seen as 4-5 second "pauses" when I for example click on another Artist name and wait until the songs of that artist are listed below.

Odd, I noticed a very good speed up with 109. I used to watch the panes draw and there was a long pause before playback, etc. Now none of that is happening.
I do not use lyrics, though my tags are quite complete (composer, publisher, etc). I do not normally keep cover art in the files, rather use folder.jpg for that.

Lyrics could be the difference.

Try reinstalling MC and rebooting.

Try uninstalling all third party plug-ins (as a test).

Did this 4 times already :-) Would it give any extra value to uninstall whole MC before reinstallation?

Will try. I have 2 sparta plugins currently. Will report back later. Will also try 111.

Yep, this seems to have helped. I had Spartasoft Chart Finder and Lyrics Finder installed. After uninstalling those MC was back to normal. I liked those plug-ins...

That's odd.... I have those and don'y have any issues....
Try uninstalling and reinstalling the plugs.... Maybe a corrupt dll?
