Keyboard & mouse input is blocked occasionally #11

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install the plugin on the system described below
2. Launch aimp + plugin (you do not need to play music or connect remotely 
afaik)
3. Spend 30-60 seconds constantly typing something (try Word)
4. Watch how the input/message loop is blocked for a few seconds from time to 
time, making entire Windows unresponsive (mostly visible on how keyboard & 
mouse stop working)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The plugin should not hang the message loop

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
AIMP v3.55 Build 1324, aimp_control_plugin-1.0.11.1170 on Windows 8.1 November 
2013

Please provide any additional information below.

Other aimp plugins: MiniLyrics

This is a huge annoying issue that makes the plugin completely unusable. Please 
fix, thanks.

I have the same system(not sure what is it's date) and AIMP player of the same 
version. I tried to type using Word app as described but I had no lags. It 
seems to me your problem is not related to plugin. If your playlists are huge, 
HDD is slow, and system uses page file, there can be problems as you described. 
Please use 'resmon' system tool to see what is the reason of lags. I think you 
will see high disk activity. Please notify me about results.

I've spent some time searching for the source of my issues before opening this 
bug, so I'm pretty confident about it.

I have 100% reproducibility rate - enable plugin and the system-wide lag 
starts. You can also experience the lag while playing games.

During the lag AIMP CPU usage spikes to 6% (from 0-1%) -- that's on a fresh i7 
3770k.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the problem is indeed in the plugin.

I will try to do some debugging when I have some free time.

Please perform couple of tests.
Preparation:
 1. turn on debug log in settings.dat: set 'debug' severity instead 'critical'.
 2. ensure that log can be written. Logs are saved in <aimp root>\Plugins\Control plugin. Old logs are in 'logs' subdirectory.
Please send all logs to me for each test.

Test 1:
 Reproduce problem like you already described. Please mention summary count of entries in your playlists.

Test 2:
 Try to test with empty default playlist only. Easiest way to do this is copy AIMP3.exe to AIMP.exe and use it. It will not affect to your playlists.
