The good:
Exiting MM5 is a much cleaner process. When exiting normally (no bug was generated during the session), all background MM processes shown in task manager vanish cleanly and quickly (within a second or two). When exiting MM4 (4.1.14.1813) normally, it routinely takes 1:20 or longer for MM processes to end in task manager.
The current MM5 beta booted up in about the same time as MM4 (around 4 secs most times)
Needs improvement:
More memory-intensive processes were slower in the beta. My benchmark was to load a complex smart playlist. The scheme has many nested smart playlists within playlists. In MM4, the complex playlist takes around 30-40 secs to produce the output. In MM5, it varied widely, but the same playlist had a range between 1:03-2:30.
Test were performed with a clean boot of Win 10 and 8GB RAM with an Intel G3258 processor.
