SlimServer runs just fine on Windows for me. 900 albums, 10000 tracks, 3500 artists. Responses via web or remote are virtually instant. This is on a machine cobbled together from spares running vanilla XP/SP2 and the last official release of SlimServer. Now we have a sample size of just 2, but the conclusion is considerably less clear. You obviouly have problems, and for that I am sympathetic, but to come to the conclusion that Perl (or even Java for that matter) is the problem is a real stretch, and not backed up by the evidence. -- radish _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
