Why MP is quite "heavy"? (1 Viewer)

i also used MP on a notebook some time ago but in the end i realized that this is just not the best solution...
I guess the "heaviness" is quite a bit related to the .Net engine in the first place - but my knowledge of these parts of MP is quite limited.
before my "almost real HTPC" i'm using now i used on a 1.7Ghz centrino, 512DDR and 128mb REAL MEMORY graphic card and i've had in fact no performance problems at all.
i guess the weak point of your setup is your graphic card letting MP appear "heavy" for you... 64MB are not that much, is it even only shared memory????? that would explain a lot
edit: don't bother because of the Fan - my actual solution tries to simulate a plain-start every now and then... louder than a notebook could possibly be (-;

It is a 64Mb on board...
"heavyness" appears when:
- launching MP
- changing channel (very slow, about 3/4 seconds, using a DVB-T USB receiver, but the same one used with it's own utility is faster)
- resizeng TV
- loading my pictures
- very slow when building thumbs
Apart from that I think this product is great.

my system as below exhibits the same traits...as does everyones..
loading time is about 10 seconds (just guessing, never timed it)
channel changing is slow compaired to Compro software
As for the others...
my resizing is instant
loading pictures is ok, but this has to do with the transition effects and the size of the actual file
the speed of building thumbs is slow for first use...i believe the devs are making some changes in the area
Heavy? Especially in program start up. As I know, MP needs to load font, icon and background files into video memory. Well, this is one of the heavy staff… You won’t feel any pain on ass for using English language. So mine is using Traditional Chinese. The font engine is my 1st headache and performance and scalability are not very well. Hopefully, I can find the solution or someone can give me some suggestions on it.
The latest cvn seems heaps faster for tv start up/changing channel.
Thumbs seem to be usable now, only just started using them as they where to slow last time I tried months ago. I see thumbs are cached, is this new or has it been always like this.
