Version: 2.3-GIT (using KDE 4.4.2) OS: Linux Installed from: openSUSE RPMs When you change pattern in the dialog it stalls for a few seconds (about 6s for 3k tracks), on every character change. I guess simple, yet great improvement fix/workaround would be to make it to wait 1 or more seconds to regenerate preview, instead of doing this real time. This way we could make a few changes at once, and that would be actually bearable ;-)
Confirmed in 2.4-GIT, it's still very slow.
