Music app takes about 60 seconds to start up

See this bug for the attachment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtdeclarative-opensource-src/+bug/1529991

With the files from that attachment in the Music folder, and the collection having been completely indexed by the mediascanner, it takes around 60 seconds for the music app to start. (It just sits there with a spinner during that time.) qmlscene consumes 100% CPU while this is going on. Eventually, the music app starts normally.

Just to assist in debugging, do you have all of you tracks (you state you have 7000 in the other bug) in the queue? As it will try to load those currently from a database into the queue at startup, and this would likely take a while.

If this is the case, this will hopefully be improved after we move to bg-playlists, and then once the load()/save() methods work (bug 1510225) as then the tracks will be directly read into the queue via c++ in the media-hub/qtubuntu-media side.

There is nothing in any queue (at least not that I know of). The songs are in the Music folder, and the mediascanner has finished indexing them. Then I start the music app, that's it.
