GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 725063
Port library view to GtkFlowBox
Last modified: 2018-05-24 10:49:15 UTC
Scrolling the local library view is extremely slow, one of the CPU cores gets to 95%, all others sit and do nothing. according to "perf top" and sysprof, most of the time is spent on gdk_cairo_surface_paint_pixbuf.
I have >300 videos on an external drive. When they're added to the library, it's pretty much unusable - takes a very long time to load and interact with, and they can't be removed from the library (which may be its own bug?).
I have the same problem as Elad: scrolling is through "Recent" is painfully slow. Many thumbnails are missing. sysprof tells me that totem spends most of its time in gdk_cairo_surface_paint_pixbuf, by a large margin.

Does running: NO_AT_BRIDGE=1 totem fix the problem? If so, could be bug 730118.
Unfortunately, I see no noticeable performance improvements when running totem with this environment variable set.
Clearing the NEEEDINFO status. It's still slow and my previous comment answers the need for info.
Just so that this bug doesn't seem like it happens only for few people, I also have it, since the new Totem arrived (3.10?) and it's slow as hell since the beginning. It's not slow like I've got to wait 3 seconds and then it's ok. No it's more like taking 10 strong minutes and, if you close Totem and reopen it, it does the parsing all over again. I was hoping it would have been fixed with 3.12. Maybe 3.14? In the meantime I'm forced to use VLC which I don't really like. I have a library of 2209 files for a total of 400GB. And I'm running Archlinux on an Intel Core 2 Quad @ 2.5GHz, 4GB of RAM, and a Radeon HD 6870 with the radeon drivers. If I can do anything, I'll be pleased to help.
This is due to the icon view, which will re-calculate its size for every single item that we add. If you have hundreds of items, it will be slow. We'll need to port the view to GtkFlowBox in the future, which should speed this up.

Any current plans to port Totem to GtkFlowBox?
