2008.8 has the same problem. It also uses qpe to scan all the data on<br>
the SD card at boot. This is why it's really slow right after it boots<br>
(eg: seconds to echo keypresses in the dialer...). I use tangogps and<br>
it wants to index all the map tiles, so it takes *hours* to scan my SD<br>
card after each boot...<br>

I mean the software stack has improved tremendously -- I have been using zeche's patches and the terminal keyboard, and have been really happy, except for the slowness... I haven't been able to figure out what to do or what the problem is, but this sounds like the main cause... I would definitely like to turn off the scanning or tell it only to scan (or exclude) certain directories... This would make such a big difference!<br>
<br>The patch that was listed, I'm not sure I can translate that into my thought from above... Would a setting of ContentDatabase=0 turn off the scanning. I'm not interesting in prescans of the media files... I would rather manually create play lists of find them with a file chooser.<br>
