gnome-music is very slow with large music libraries
Hi. I did not find any bug report or label related to performance (except maybe #179), so I write this ticket.
I have a Intel Core i7 6600K, 16Go of RAM and a SSD disk, and ~100k music files. I run gnome-music 3.30 on an up to date archlinux. Here is my user experience:
- the window appears very quickly.
- the "loading bar" is running for about 10s before any album is displayed.
- Sometimes navigation is smooth, sometimes navigation is very, very slow, sometimes the program just freezes. Just scrolling the album or artist list takes an eternity. Clicking on an album can also be very long to display anything. I could not find any way to reproduce a slow experience.
- it takes 2 to 3 seconds to close after I click on the top right cross.
The user experience is not smooth enough so I would use gnome-music on a daily basis, but it is not far. Thank you for all the work!
