VLC player takes 5 min to open in Jaunty

[[e-mail]]

I've noticed that VLC Media Player takes ~5 Minutes to Open in Jaunty. I just installed beta, but noticed the same behavior in Alpha 2 and 6. While the player is opening the processor is at 99-100%. My system is a 32bit 2.4Ghz Pentium4 with 1Gb of RAM and the file system is ext4. Once open, the processor drops to 2% and the player works fine. This same behavior happens with Amarok also, so i don't know what package to assign this issue to.

Not sure what could be causing this, but will assign to vlc to see if any VLC experts could know the cause.

Delete ~/.config/vlc and ~/.cache/vlc
