Since the OS4 Final my index file from Collector 3.5 load 10 times slower... I made several test and the cause of the problem come from one or more files in the kickstart directory.
The index file is on my SYS (SmartFilesystem 1.267), I try to load the file from RAM and still loading very slow.
Another test I made (not recommended), I install the kickstart directory of my backup (OS4 Update 4) on my SYS and made a Hard Reset, then I try to load the index file and it load fast like before.
The cause of the slow loading come from one of the kickstart file but I can't figure wich one(s).
No you should not mix final and update 4 modules, go for dual boot option if this really is important to you, any way you can disable all drivers you do not use like the voodoo driver and the sii / sil drivers.

I've downloaded gfx/misc/Collector.lha from aminet to check what the problem is, but when creating the thumbnails the included MPImage.library crashes sooner or later. Is there another MPImage.library somewhere without these bugs?
It is the program counter of Collector that is in side the library, trying to turn off JIT on a library will probably have no effect, on the program that crashes in side library.

I just try to reinstall from scratch the Collector program and I had the same problem, it crash when trying to make thumbnails. I replace a library.
Check in your libs if you have the latest popupmenu.library, maybe you overwrite the one you have or you did not have one, after replacing this library with that one (popupmenu.library 52.1 (2006-12-09) It doe'nt crash anymore.

If you can't find this lib just E-Mail me...
I have popupmenu.library 52.1 installed, but the crashes are not popupmenu.library related anyway, it crashes in MPImage.library. Maybe MPImage.library works with some image formats but not the ones I used (JPEG and GIF, IIRC the crashes were always with JPEG images, but I'm not sure).
I didn't test it with Update4 yet (I currently don't have a partition with Update4 installed), but was this index file really loaded in about 2 seconds on Update4 by Collector 3.5 on your system? That's of course possible, but since the rest of Collector is very slow here (before it crashes ...) it seems to be unlikely. On my system Collector 3.5 loads this index file in about 23 seconds from a SFS partition and in about 24 seconds from RAM Disk:.

I just test the loading speed with OS4 Pre4 and it took less than 2 seconds... I'l say 1.8 second
The easiest way to test this is to?make two directories on your boot partition (OS4_Pre4 and OS4_Final), then you copy your backup of your OSPre4 in the directory OS4_Pre4, then MOVE all files/directory from SYS: to OS4_Final and MOVE all files/directory from OS_Pre4 to your SYS:, then reset the A1 (CTRL+ALT-L+ALT-R). I'm sure you know how to go back to your OS4_Final. ;o)
No I'm really talking about the time to load the index file.
OS4 Pre4 -=> 1.8 sec OS4 Final -=> 23-25 secs
I don't understand why you don't have the speed difference,
I don't have any differences either, 23 seconds with OS4 final as well as with Update4.
But Collector does next to nothing when it loads the index, it's waiting for something most of the time, and it's not waiting for the data it reads. Maybe it only updates the progress gauge once every frame and if you are using a Readon maybe that didn't work in Update4 yet. You could try if using the ATIRadeon.chip from Update4 with the rest from AmigaOS final makes it faster again, if that's the case it was a bug/missing feature in the Radeon driver which was fixed in the final version of OS4.
I don't understand why you don't have the speed difference, did you hard reset your machine, you must load the kickfiles in kickstart of pre4. -----------------------------------------------------------
Yup, hard boot for each. I'm having a hard time believing a 12MB index file could load in under 2 sec. Is there an option to load the index & not show the thumbs until the index is fully loaded? That would make sense to me. I'm using SFS under ud4 & final.
