[mythtv-users] Frontend slowness during database access

[Michael Rice]

I've had this issue since I started using MythTV (March) but haven't looked 
into fixing it yet.  Maybe this is just how it is for everyone... I dunno.

Typically we'll be watching a recording, it finishes, and we delete it.  No 
problems so far.  The item changes color while it deletes, then we are back 
in the recording list ready to choose another recording.  At this point I 
want to move to another recording but for some number of seconds I am not 
able to move within the menu.  There is no indication that something is 
happening or when that something is done.  I believe that after the delete 
the backend is running the scheduler and this is what is blocking me.  I see 
this at other times when database activity is happening.

Normal behavior?  I can understand that some operations might require 
immediate data from the database and it can't continue without it.  But this 
doesn't seem like one of those times.

In the "Find Programs" function (browsing the A-Z list of programs) we 
probably need to wait for the data from the database but shouldn't there be 
some type of visual indication that the program is busy so I am not pressing 
buttons during this time?

Or do I have something configured incorrectly... or am I using a theme that 
doesn't implement a busy cursor?

Any ideas would be appreciated since this is pretty annoying.
