"Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Rhythmbox automatically parses windows files such as desktop.ini and Thumbs.db. This makes lots of delay when opening rhythmbox with the option to automatically check changes in the library, since it always tries to add them to the library.
jpeg files are filtered by default (no error is shown) so I think that .ini and .db files should be filtered too ... I'm using the version of gutsy, which is 0.10.90-0ubuntu1 (and also feisty version). I know these files are parsed because when starging rhythmbox (remember that I have the option "monitor new files in the library") an icon appears with the label "error importing".
I think that they slow down because the process of monitoring the library is very long (5 minutes for a 2,6GB library) and I also think that determining a MIME type of a file is not a simple operation...

I've started rhythmbox -d and capture some debug. This is what I've understood: the refresh of known music and jpegs lasts in 11 seconds than I start seeing strange messages
Attached the log file starting from the strange message, after the last music file is parsed, and truncated after 250 lines (it was too big and the lines were similar)."
