To do what you suggest amarok should be suid root, and that is definitely NOT 
a good idea.

I don't see any of such big delays or slowdowns  using an 3 years old Athlon 
XP 2 GHz. Track change time is in the order of 0,1 s. May be your machine is 
much older.

Amarok plays what libxine/phonon supports, so the right place to ask for this 
would be libxine and phonon mailing lists. Anyway, I'd suggest you not to use 
undocumented propietary fileformats and use any other free-as-in-freedom 
fully-documented file formats. For losless you could use flac, for example.
