thumbnail loading slow (tbn)
#1
My video thumbnails are all TBN files, when scrolling in thumbnail view it seems to take ages to load some thumbnails. then 6 will appear all at once, then when scrolling back up it seems to forget one or two then re-load them, slowly. What gives?

Windows XP Pro, 2GHz Athlon, 1GB Ram, Proper full screen mode.

2Ghz is too slow to load a few JPGs (that are all 280x400) and stick them on screen?

Wow, that means every web browser in existence must run on magic instead of clock cycles, then.

XBMC isn't a web browser.

Single core CPU, graphics drivers that busy wait on vsync -> background threads are starved. My guess is ATI.

Nvidia geforce fx5200.

Will be getting a dedicated ATOM rig later in the year, I just think it's daft that the UI code is so suboptimal.

don't bother with atom... atom is dead dude. Fusion or Sandy Bridge, makes atom seem like molasses in december

Sounds like you have something setup wrong, or bad drivers for the 5200. A debug log may give some pointers.

In either case, it's almost certain that your GPU is busy waiting on vsync. There's some advanced settings you can play around with - sleepbeforeflip in particular - see the wiki.

Cheers,
Jonathan
