import to buffer~ on windows

I tried to port a patch from Mac to PC, and it seems the import message
for buffer~ doesn’t work in a usable manner. It will freeze the computer
for about as long as the file would need to play or even longer… On a
Mac Powerbook 1.5 GHz PPC it would take about 10 seconds, The PC is an
AMD-Sempron 2600+ Laptop…
(I tried with mp3 160kb/s of around 4 minutes length)
Is import on PC’s in general unusable, or did I miss some trick to make
it work? Just wondering…
Don’t know how far the spigot~ solution for PC got as alternative, as
the UB 4.6 beta seems to work now.
