You are not running a debug build of xbmc are you? They are horribly much slower.

elupus Wrote:Yea, it's a known issue (to me anyway). From what I can tell it's due to slow filesystem access on windows.Using procmon, from sysinternals.com, shows why it is so slow.
Windows xbmc is horribly slow at loading thumbnails and such from disk aswell.

Yep, you're not allowed anymore to write to C:\Program Files\XBMC and thus to system\python\Lib. That is if you don't run as Admin all the time and have stripped Win7 of all its default security settings.
I noticed that my Win7 install is indeed quite slow while my test install of XBMC under XP is faster. Reason, probably, being the fact that no *.pyo file can be written under Win7, which is NOT an error, but slows down python in general.
The quick and dirty way is to edit security on Lib to allow standard users to write to the folder. I have the feeling that is actually quicker right now.
Maybe there is a way to test this more in a quantitative way.
