Is it possible to add id3v2 padding with foobar, as tagging in that is really slow, but i notice some taggers add padding and tagging is really fast, after the first time.[{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Use of ID3v2 is generally discouraged by the fb2k dev team, and thus the slow tagging speed is meant to discourage its use. As such, this complaint will likely fall on deaf ears, although I know not what 0.9 will bring.

0.9 has been in development since early 2004, but because I have less time for this than usually (real life reasons), and amount of changes is far bigger than from eg. 0.7 to 0.8, it is going to take a few more months.
Since no old components work, the longer it takes, the better for you - once 0.9 component interface is frozen, it might take a few years before serious global changes are made again.

Already added features include return of lagless volume control, reimplemented internal shuffle, native multilevel undo, fast id3v2 tagging and sanely reimplemented cuesheet embedding.

Exact set of new features is still to be determined.
