I am using a samba share over a vpn connection over the internet to mount my music on my working computer. In this configuration Amaroks GUI is very unresponsive. Sometimes it takes seconds before the hover effect, clicks or drags and drops are displayed and handled. It is not that i complain over longer buffering or slow collection scanning or something that has to do with the data. It feels more like using amarok over a very slow remote desktop vnc connection. I guess this has to do with some file-task that are actually done in the gui thread. Reproducible: Always
I think this has already much improved in the current git build, you could check that out quite easily as a Gentoo user. I don't have that hardware configuration available to test, though...
currently the kde overlay -9999 (git master) version does not compile, because of a sandbox vialoation (seems that the amarok tests try to create a folder in /usr/share/apps/amarok/scriptconsole. I will try to build it manually later.

there is already a bug report on the sandbox issue: Bug 331795
i have tested the current git master (last commit 2707fe0f92cecb63761a52c88b185edd84613c75) and there is no noticable change compared to 2.8.0. I can provide the infrastructure for testing for a trustable developer. You can get a samba share over a openvpn connection. If you are interested, please write an email to me (most preferable with pgp key, so i can send you the passwords, etc encrypted)
