The problem has not changed at all in 13.10: 100% CPU during a couple of
minutes with the UI unresponsive every time the list pane gets focus.

WRT 14.04, we will switch to it soon for development, and I will probably
be able to test. But I don't expect any improvement. I think rhythmbox is
dead, which is a real pity because all alternatives are not good. I'm using
audacious currently, but its db capabilities are much worse :(
