Hi. I'm in the process of migrating my iTunes library over to MusicBee. So far, MusicBee has been awesome! It's a great improvement over iTunes.

One thing I'm wondering about is MusicBee's performance with libraries that have lots of playlists. When I imported my iTunes library into MusicBee, it successfully imported the 100 or so regular playlists I had in iTunes. But, that's just the start. I have a further 300 - 400 smart playlists in iTunes, which I'll have to re-make in MusicBee as auto-playlists. Some of these are pretty complicated, relying on 2 or 3 levels of other auto-playlists in their criteria, and some of them have dozens of criteria.

I've added about a dozen of these auto playlists so far and have noticed a bit of a slowdown in MusicBee. So, I'm wondering: for others out there with libraries that have hundreds (or thousands?) of playlists, especially auto-playlists, what is the performance like?

For reference: my computer has an i7-7700HQ, 16GB RAM, and a M.2 SSD.
