Comment 2 for bug 235726

In Ubuntu 8.10 I've noticed that Rhythmbox and Pidgin are slow to respond when transferring many audio files over MTP to a Sansa Fuze. Usually Firefox, Gnome-terminal, and Gnome are unaffected. However, in the process of typing up this comment Gnome was temporarily unresponsive except for mouse movement and the caps-lock key.

The transfer rate is also really slow, and the percentage in the Rhythmbox window reads "(0%)" even after it has transferred a significant number of tracks.
