new track for a TrackStat playlist. You are running one of the playlists
that should be pretty fast, so there are probably other TrackStat
playlists that takes a lot more than 4 seconds. 

TrackStat also retreives 50 tracks even though DynamicPlayList only
needs one. The reason for this is that some random selection  code is
done in the perl code instead of int the SQL query. I think there is a
lot of optimizing potential in this part of the code, it really looks
like I didn't have performance in mind when I wrote it. I will put an
entry on the TrackStat wish list to optimize this.

All this probably means that if you click the "next track" button it
will take about 4 seconds until you see any response and the new track
starts to play. Is this how it feels ?

What hardware do you have ?

How many tracks do you have in your library ?

The performance can be affected by:
- processor speed
- memory size
- harddisk speed

It's impossible to say which component that is critical without further
investigation/knowledge of the system.

On my AMD XP2500+ with 1GB memory and around 3000 tracks in the library
it takes less than a second to switch to next track.
