Is the CPU usage high while waiting for this to load? If the CPU usage is high try creating a a few playlists that double in size. Do these new playlists take more the twice as long to finish loading?
It doesn't seem to affect the CPU usage- it bounces around 5%. I'm assuming you want to know Windows CPU, but perhaps that assumption is wrong. How would I watch the empeg's CPU load?
I'm out of time just now, but I'll try some of this again later. Thanks!
