In my opinion, Banshee has come a long way since I last tried. Great
work! It imported my somewhat large collection fine and worked for
several hours on building the database, adjusting file and folder names,
etc.

In addition to BPM detection, I have found the following extensions to
cause Banshee to use at least 100% of one of two available cores:

- Clutterflow
- Mirage

Once these extensions are unchecked, Banshee hogs neither CPU nor IO.
This is a huge relief! (I uninstalled both.)

Title:
  Banshee uses too much CPU

Status in Banshee Music Player:
  Confirmed
Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

  While playing and minimized to the system tray, Banshee uses 65-70%
  CPU and also pushes pulseaudio CPU usage up to around 30%.
  Additionally, when using "next" or "previous" buttons Banshee CPU
  usage goes up to 150%. Importing approximately 6000 songs took over 20
  minutes, although the first 3000 or so only took about 5 minutes.

  System: P4 2.8 Ghz with hyperthreading, 2GB RAM

  Tested with latest Banshee from Jaunty repos and also the Banshee Team
  PPA version.
