In my opinion, Banshee has come a long way since I last tried. Great work! It imported my somewhat large collection fine and worked for several hours on building the database, adjusting file and folder names, etc.
In addition to BPM detection, I have found the following extensions to cause Banshee to use at least 100% of one of two available cores: - Clutterflow - Mirage Once these extensions are unchecked, Banshee hogs neither CPU nor IO. This is a huge relief!

Additionally, when using "next" or "previous" buttons Banshee CPU usage goes up to 150%. Importing approximately 6000 songs took over 20 minutes, although the first 3000 or so only took about 5 minutes. System: P4 2.8 Ghz with hyperthreading, 2GB RAM Tested with latest Banshee from Jaunty repos and also the Banshee Team PPA version.
