Memory consumption

If I run it on Gnome 3.12 it takes a lot of time to load, consumes +40% of CPU and tons of memory (+40% = 2 Gb total and 400-500 MiB consumed). During the starting process that may take up to 3-4 min, it is possible to see some "Rhythmbox is not responding" dialogue at least one time.

It also pushes Gnome to consume comparable amount of memory.

Another this is tha the search function gets also pretty slow and may sometimes make Rhythmbox not responding (Gnome tells if we want to quit Rhythmbox or to wait for a response).

I attached a screen shot that huge memory consumption (I only have 2 GB).

PS: reducing the info shown and deactivating plugins may help having a lower memory consumption.

I forgot to mention that on gnome 3.10 or any other DE it works just fine. I tested it on Openbox, RazorQt and MATE.
