I've just committed a few more performance improvements in r5027 so I'm down to about 12 seconds for MAME (and 3 seconds for MESS) at the moment: 16:19:52.918: M.A.M.E. Catalog / Launcher II v0.40, SVN r5027 (Qt 4.8.4, SDLMAME, us)

Gimme time and I'll surely find even more ways to make things faster  ... however, the number of possibilities is narrowing (with the current design), so don't expect too much.

Linux vs Win7 = 1:0 Sure, though I think that's more like 3:1 !

Rene, compare speeds with your VC++ builds: my build: r5033 x64 MINGW - 29 sec. your builds : r5033 x32 VC++ - 18 sec. r5033 x64 VC++ - 18 sec. strange job, why mingw build load slowly , that normal ? Tnx

Interesting... I'm not sure if that's "normal" but I always (*) felt (subjectively) that VC++ creates faster code, or maybe it's caused by the different run-time libs. That's one of the reasons why I stay with it for the official builds, the others are that the Qt Project is still recommending it and that support is only really guaranteed for VC++. However, building with MinGW is a lot easier since it's basically the same as on Linux / UNIX / Mac OS X then . (*): "always" means "within the past decade" here... I recall a simple test case in 1992 when MSVC was compiling significantly slower code than the Watcom compiler I preferred to use on Windows at the time .

The helpful text in the bottom left hand corner (that changes depending where your mouse is) could this be moved to the icon bar (maybe make the search bar a lot smaller ) it's very handy for showing what the mouse is pointing at but it's not in the eye line for seeing (If you see what I mean) It's not intuitive to be bottom left. now I know there is a pop up help when you hover the mouse but seeing as you have it in the bottom corner instantly it should be easier to see (I have only just noticed it....)

Well, I know what you mean, but that's just a typical "status-bar" placed to where it's supposed to be, and it's generally good practice to follow the "common user interface" design rules for desktop-based GUIs.
Also, the pop-up texts are actually called tool-tips, and they are set for nearly everything, the status-texts are not.
