I've rerun a similar type of test with r7430 (I'd backed out the patch
to HTTP.pm so it was unmodified from the Subversion version). 

As before the server is a lowly 460MHz PentiumII running Gentoo Linux,
with MySQL as the database server. I have an SB1(G). The music is all
streaming in PCM (from FLAC) over wireless (802.11b).

I've not snipped any lines out of the log this time - this should be
complete for the actions I was performing. I've attached an annotated
version of that log.

In summary, it seems to be much better. I only got it to drop out when
initiating a "browse albums" from the web interface - this happened a
couple of times. I couldn't get it to drop out when doing anything
else, and this was while using the web interface quite heavily while
playing.

Looking at the log, the only warnings now >0.5s were in
Slim::Web::HTTP::processHTTP and
Slim::Control::Commands::playlistXtracksCommand. There were no warnings
about saving the prefs, so those recent changes seemed to have done the
trick (by the way, I had to delete my old prefs as the server kept
complaining they were corrupt - presumably because of the different
choice of YAML module, but it didn't handle the upgrade very
gracefully).

On the basis of this performance I'm now very happy with it - whereas
previously I'd avoid using the web interface because of the dropouts, I
am now confident enough to use it.

Thanks very much for the improvements - I'm sure they'll benefit a lot
of people.

If you want me to do any further testing then just say what you'd like
done.
