[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1027443, member: 109222"] Hi. I'm pretty sure it's the handling of the huge DB file itself. I can hear the HDD working a long time when accessing DB. A SSD could (should) be speed up things a lot. As I'm unemployed since a long time (health issues) I did not have a lot of money. SSD will come but this will take a while. IMHO MP2 should be usable on slower systems (like mine) also. So the attempt to grab only needed data will help a lot, I bet. MP2 really is lightning fast with little amount of media items. But it feels significant slower with some 20.000 items I have in my "working DB". (15.000 Series Episodes, 1.500 Movies and some test collection of Audio and Pictures). When try to add all audio (150.000 Songs) and especially pictures (aprox 500.000) then MP2 is getting slower and slower, nearly unusable. BTW, I really did not need my pictures in DB. I'm not using the category system as I've started sorting them by filesystem long before I've used some HTPC software for the first time. I can find anything I want in no time due to my storing and naming system... As for thumbs, nearly all folders are containing a thumbs.db file generated by windows itself. I don't know if they can be used inside MP2 like in explorer... [/QUOTE]
