It's the revision number of the version control system (subversion, and as it is the revision number it has a leading "r") and the build date. Having the revision number in the build ID makes it possibly easily grabbing exactly that version ouf of SVN.

Have you confirmed there isn't anything else running in background, like dircache / database updating? I suppose this will slow it down quite a bit but I haven't tried myself.

Lear:
I regularly load a playlist with 3600 entries, and that is pretty much instantaneous. Note, however, this is with a "real" playlist. I think what you're experience isn't really the playlist load, but rather the rebuild of a dynamic playlist, which is something different (and, it seems, rather inefficient in this case, but I'm not that familiar with the internals of the playlist code).

What you should do is to create a playlist with all the tracks you want and then make sure you save it somewhere (select Root menu > Playlist > Save current playlist). Then, when you want to play some random tracks, enable shuffle and load that playlist, and you'll see how fast playlist loading really is.

And if you use bookmarks, you won't even need to enable shuffle before resuming the bookmark.

sammydee:
Yes it is with dynamic playlists.

I have never really used "real" playlists before, I will have an experiment and see if I like that way better. I'd still like the option of inserting say 50 random tracks though, bu I doubt that will be implemented any time soon, its just a hangover from my Rio Karma days...
