For quite some while, loading MM (gold) with a database of over 30K mostly-mp3 files took more than 30 seconds but under a minute on a quite capable and capacious dual-xeon workstation. More recently, loading and becoming responsive consumes more than 150 seconds. Under MM 4.1.20.1864 only the splash screen shows and disappears prior to the long wait for the app screen. MM version 4.1.21.1875 quickly moves from splash screen to app screen but remains unresponsive for the same 150+ seconds.
My recollection is that my starting cataloging .mp4 video files was coincident to the massive slowdown. But even after such files were removed from the catalogue, the slowdown persists; so the coincidence may have been entirely random. And the slowdown occurred a fair while before the number of catalogued files reached any magic 32767/8 figure.
Is this considered an issue by the MM team? If so, what is the most cogent documentation that you would like me to provide?
