How stupid comment is this?
He could have a perfect ordinary machine that works for most things,
it doesn't mean it's something wrong with it. I have a Quad core, 4Gb
Ram and fast sata2 disks and it still i a pain and take several hours
to do a full scan of my collection.

In that case it should be mention somewhere that the import of 1.4
collection is not as usable in Amarok 2 as one would think and I don't
think that hes alone to think that.
