Comment 5 for bug 788532

There seem to be a few things that can cause slowdown here. Having copy_on_import enabled is one of them, and I think it is also the cause of all the dupes and other similar problems. I wonder if we should perhaps patch this option out, as it is one of the worst misfeatures a music player could have.

There are also some slowdowns when we try to talk to ubuntuone-syncdaemon over dbus, if syncdaemon isn't already running, or it fails to start. This seems to be because much of the C library API we're using to talk to it, is synchronous, and DBus stuff doesn't deal well when things don't reply immediately. I will try to fix some of this, but it may not be entirely doable for 11.04. :-/
