Yes, that is big factor, but not the only. Put your 92+28 clips in a folder or make symlinks to them in a folder. Then: $ melt folder/* -consumer xml:test.mlt creates a mlt-xml file containing all of the clips. Now, measure the loading time: $ time melt test.mlt -consumer null terminate_on_pause=1 -- +-DRD-+
