in my exp, it is not a placebo effect. i noticed a big difference both in faster scanning, and responsiveness. i mean, there is no question in my mind that artwork loaded faster in the webui, clicks were quickly responded to, etc.
a third option where mem allocation equals DB size sounds good to me, (i'm for it) but just like the option Andy already put in, its only good if your system can handle it. a lot of people are using low power low spec boxes these days, and even NAS type users would benefit from tweaking the settings to fit their system specs... in other words, the moonbase/andyg option, or what you propose, may be good for lots of people, but may be counter productive for some. an auto-tuner would be good for EVERYONE and take into account minor differences. for instance, a sparc NAS unit is essentially slow as molasses, but even it can have differing amounts of RAM. the auto-tuner could set the NAS to best settings knowing that. given how reliant the SBS exp is on DB performance, whether MySQL or SQLite, i think there is a lot of benefit to trying to maximize those settings for any given hardware in an install. btw... since moonbase did his last revision, i have seen lots of suggestions about lines to add, things to tweak, and so on from Jim and others. maybe i will try to gather all these suggestions and put them into one place, so that a better implementation of moonbases idea can be done. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbrec & ipeng (parent's home) - sbs 7.5.2b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 43k+ mp3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81310 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
