I ought to be familiar with it (having written it!). As you know, if you're using the new 6.2.2 official release then you still need to use 1.0, but if you're on the 6.5 development version you need 2.0. Basically I don't think you'll notice much difference in LazySearch performance between the two versions. The functionality is the same (bar one or two minor visual things, I think), and the search performance should be about the same. Database 'lazification' is quicker in 2.0 due to the new database columns, but since that happens in the background I'd be surprised if anyone ever noticed unless they had a huge library. There's one remaining bug in 1.0 that can't practically be fixed without SlimServer 6.5, which is that if you add music to your library and then use the 'Browse Music Folder' to let SlimServer see it for the first time, you'll notice that the server records this as a new artist (even if you've already got albums by that same artist) - leading to duplicate entries in the database. Either a complete database clear-and-rescan, or introducing the new music through a scan-for-changes would solve that, however. I wouldn't move to SlimServer 6.5 in order to use the newer plugin version - rather I think the decision should be the other way around; if you've got reason to use 6.5 then use LazySearch 2.0, otherwise stay with 6.2.2/1.0. Hope that's clarified things.
