Should move work in pieces?

[RollingStar]

I'm running a big old beet mv on my whole library. 20,000 files. With -vv enabled it seems that beets is coming up with a list of items to move, which it will then iterate through to move.

In practice, this means waiting 5-30 minutes before a single move takes place. Is there a more real-time method that would be good in this situation?

Or are my plugins to blame? I see the logging every band name yet no moves are taking place (yet).

That's odd! I don't have a guess at what the root cause might be. To test the plugin hypothesis, you could try disabling some plugins to see if that has any effect.
