It would be great if tags on the CF could make it faster to load large playlists. 1.03 rarely hesitated as much as 2.0, and maybe that's why.
I think the biggest win, though rarely used, will be database rebuilds. Those are dominated by seek times, which are reduced to zero on a CF device.
Well, I didn't do a perfect comparison, but here I was juggling two empegs yesterday, with nearly identical contents. I started a database rebuild on the single-HD player, and then later, at about 50% on the HD player, started a database rebuild on the dual-CF player.
They finished within about 4 seconds of each other, so the CF based player was around twice as quick as the HD based player. That's 24GB of tunes on each.
