Title: Smartlist Performance Feedback
Post by: BlueGlow on March 07, 2005, 03:21:15 pm

Here's a smartlist optimization others might find interesting and helpful.

The first version checks any default search field and takes around 12 seconds to display. It's almost unusable.

The second optimized version looks specifically at the [Filename (path)] field, has more constraints and displays many times faster. It only takes about 1 second to display.

Smarlist ".pod Talk":
e:\radio\podcast ("adam curry" or aasw or aarr or "delta park" or "dawn and drew" or "dragon page" or brainwagon or aabn or aars or "Jo Ann and Stacy") ~sort=[Date Created]-d [Media Type]=[Audio]

Optimized Smarlist ".pod Talk":
([Filename (path)]="e:\radio\podcast\Adam Curry  Daily Source Code" or [Filename (path)]="e:\radio\podcast\Air America Radio  So What Else Is News  (High Quality)" or [Filename (path)]="e:\radio\podcast\Air America Radio  The Kyle Jason Show (High Quality)" or [Filename (path)]="e:\radio\podcast\Air America Radio  The Randi Rhodes Show" or [Filename (path)]="e:\radio\podcast\Delta Park Project   Pop Culture" or [Filename (path)]="e:\radio\podcast\Jo Ann and Stacy Show Podcast" or [Filename (path)]="e:\radio\podcast\KCRW's Film Reviews" or [Filename (path)]="e:\radio\podcast\The Dawn and Drew Show!") ~sort=[Date Created]-d [Media Type]=[Audio]

It's always faster to narrow down the fields that get searched.

It's also faster to use brackets when possible instead of quotes.

Finally, "or" can be slow, so it'd be better to use a comma delimited list like:

[Filename (path)]=[e:\radio\podcast\Adam Curry  Daily Source Code",[e:\radio\podcast\Air America Radio  So What Else Is News  (High Quality)",etc...

Hope that helps :)

Thanks, Matt, I'll try those tips out. The brackets didn't work when I first tried them I'll try them again.

New version runs in less than a second and doesn't make the playing audio pause. Thanks, Matt!

Does this work in MC 10 or only MC 11 ?
