yeah ok. I'll probably try to run a few tests to see what is the fastest thing to do. Maybe just building my own little bdb, and updating it every time new songs are added would be the quickest thing to do. The only function that is effected by this is queuenum, which arguably won't be the most commonly used one.
thanks,

i've run into this same issue, and i've found that different things affect
the response time. like is iTunes the frontmost app? faster if not. are
there other apps running? it seems trivial to query, but if there's even a
30% cpu load it seems to double or triple the response time. for anything
other than playing a specific track i find it faster to do some basic
searching through the 42MB xml file i've got. don't build a tree of course,
just line by line regexes.
