Version:           2.4-GIT (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                Linux

I converted smart playlists from Amarok 1.4 into dynamic playlists in 2.4. When I select a dynamic playlist with 70+ artists to match, Amarok hangs for a while, eats a lot of CPU and processes the playlist for very long when finally repopulating playlist.

Reproducible: Always

Shouldn't happen any longer, plus you can use a normal search term for the dynamic playlist which translates to one database query.
