I have defined my own "URL" field. The "Field" code is "WWW" . When writing to that field and saving it takes 10-15 seconds to save. Other field codes with WWW behave the same way.  
I am using version 3.21f 64 bit on Windows.  
Anybody experience the same?

Regards  
Peter

What kind of files do you use? FLAC? mp3?  
Are other changes (like ARTIST or ALBUM) faster then changes to your WWW field?  
Is a second change to the same file faster as the first change (regardless of the field you change)?

Hi there..  
Sorry. I forgot to mention. It is video files (MP4). Other fields saves instantaneously.  
Yep. Just tried it. Second change is much faster.
