I have a question on how iPeng handles multiple SqueezeCenters.  But,
before I ask my question, let me say this is an excellent app.  It's
certainly one of the more heavily used apps on my touch.  Nice work
pippin!!

I have 2 separate locations, where each location has a SqueezeCenter
and several SqueezeBoxen.  Both sites are running SC 7.3.1.  My iPeng
is at version 1.04.  I'm curious how the caching works as I move from
one location to another.  Today, in one of the locations, I noticed
that iPeng refreshed the entire cache.  I'm assuming it reloaded the
whole cache because it took quite a few minutes to complete (14,000
songs / 1500 albums).  I did add several songs (probably less than 20)
to this SC today, so I expected it to update the cache with the new
songs/artwork.  In this location, I'm running SC on a ReadyNAS and, as
many of you know, it's a very CPU challenged device.  The net result
was that the system was largely unusable for the 5-10 minutes that it
took to load the cache.  I don't necessarily view this as an iPeng
problem, as I suspect the ReadyNAS was pegged at 100% utilization while
the cache was being loaded.

The whole process made me wonder if iPeng refreshes the entire cache
when I select a different SC, or whether it maintains a separate cache
for each of the SCs, then just switches to that cache whenever I select
another SC.

Thanks!
Mark
