The Controller and iPeng both respond well and quickly during normal use. The only real delays are when large lists must be created that are not cached lists. I usually do those sort of things through the WebUI and use iPeng mainly for control and adjustments. For large collections it is my opinion that a dedicated server with a Linux operation system is the way to go. Linux seems to have a huge performance advantage. From my experience an NAS is to be avoided with large libraries. I had a ReadyNAS NV+ and a Thecus N5200Pro both of which could not hack the size of my collection. Switching to a PC with Six 1TB drives built to handle just SBS and a large CD collection running Ubuntu Linux did the trick. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75205 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
