Hi Matt, I believe the LinkStation has 64MB of memory. SlimServer's memory consumption is usually around 65-75% (as reported by the "top" command). My library is around 9500 songs. The CPU consumption varies a lot depending on activity. When SlimServer is idle, CPU consumption is about 2%. When playing mp3s, it's about 3%. When serving-up web pages, it can go as high as 98% for a short time. Same goes for the daily song re-scan. This is with SlimServer 5.4.0. In terms of the user experience, the only downsides are that the SqueezeBox takes about 3 seconds to turn-on after you hit the power button on the remote (after that, the controls on the SqueezeBox are very responsive), and the web interface sometimes is slow. I have had no drop-outs or other music streaming problems.
