Also, my computer is quite old (Athlon 2000+, 1Gb DDR), but Im still a little upset with the performances. It takes up to 2 or 3 seconds to change from a film page to another, and even more to switch from normal mode to edit mode. Why is that ?
Having recently upgraded from a computer of similar vintage, I'd say both problems are due to the age of the computer. The time switching between records and modes sounds exactly like my experience. I don't recall the MME causing an apparent freeze, but there were a number of operations that would cause that behaviour. Rarely, if ever, is the program/computer actually frozen—it's just taking a very long time to do something. On my current machine, it takes about 1 second per 100 records for MME to load. That's relatively slow, suggesting there's a lot of work involved. But since I rarely edit 100's of movies at a time, I'm unlikely to notice. On my old machine, I might have to go on a coffee break to allow a large number of movies to load. I don't know why it should take so long for just a few movies, but the computer is still the most likely suspect. Maybe the 1 in 10 times you have a problem is when it runs out of memory in the middle of the operation.
