Keep Unswapped interval
If the server is unused for some time, the operating system puts it
into swap space. This setting determines after how many minutes the
server reloads its main page to keep the server process in main
memory.
Set to 0 to disable the reloading.
This is a new setting in the more recent betas. I can't make sense of
it, though. Can anyone take a stab at explaining it in a different way?
Or suggest a setting that would be best for SlimServer running on a
Windows XP PC that is used for other tasks (not dedicated to
SlimServer).
some users have freaked out about the amount of time it takes for
slimserver to react to any interaction after they leave it alone for a
long period of time. The theory is that this delay is due to windows
swapping slimserver out to the hard drive section of virtual memory and
it then takes a while for it to be moved back to RAM and react. The
setting then forces a slimserver command every so often to coax windows
to leave it in RAM, then leaving it running in fast memory space.
If you find that slimserver lags unacceptably to the point where you
want to fling insults at the developers when you go to select an album
after 2 hours of nothing, then you may want to set this pref to
something. If you don't mind waiting, then set it to 0 :)
