Package: rhythmbox Version: 2.96-5 Severity: important Hi,
I've recently started Orca by accident. Upon startup, Orca automatically
sets "org.gnome.desktop.interface.toolkit-accessibility" to "true" [0].
After a lot of trial-and-error I discovered that this setting was the
reason why Rhythmbox was suddenly reacting *very* slowly. Please take a
look a these numbers:
| value == false | value == true
-------------------------------------------+--------------
Rhythmbox startup | < 1 second | ~ 10 seconds
Searching for an album | < 1 second | ~ 3 seconds
Clearing the search field | < 1 second | ~ 5 seconds
These times were measured with a database containing ~ 4000 songs. With
a bigger database the effect is much more dramatic - Rhythmbox is
basically unusable there (startup alone takes several minutes).
I don't think the accidental launch of one application should make
another application unusable without even telling the user what the
problem is.
Best regards
Alexander Kurtz
[0] I guess doing this directly after startup without first asking the
user is not perfect, but I can understand the rationale behind this
decision.
