I think that whenever any track is referenced SbS may check the file size and timestamp against the library database to be sure the library information is up to date. > Also I've noticed that even on my overclocked to 4.1GHz Core i7 machine > the limiting factor in web page generation is still the CPU.

Some web pages (e.g. browsing albums with artist names displayed) still require hundreds of queries to be run.

This greatly speeds up scanning performance and (less noticeable) the speed of artwork retrieval.

There have been large gains in performance made just to fit Squeezebox Server into the somewhat underspec'd Squeezebox Touch. Still, the web interface had to be thrown out. As long as the Touch and 'TinySC' are in development, I don't think we can expect to see anyone at Logitech working on the needed optimizations of the web interface. Hopefully soon. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75156 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
