Update performance for SymlinkViews #50

Open wisp3rwind opened 4 years ago

wisp3rwind commented 4 years ago

Check where the performance bottleneck is for updating SymlinkViews, cf. https://github.com/geigerzaehler/beets-alternatives/pull/48#issuecomment-601440101. Since this requires only accesses to filesystem metadata and two columns in the database (path and beets-alternatives path_key), it should be fairly fast (on SSDs at least).
