And another 2c: I ran Slimserver (up to 5.4) on a dual PII-733 box, 1GB RAM for several years - mostly OK. I now run the latest 'official' release on a P4 3Ghz box with 1.5GB RAM under Windows 2003 Small Business Server and it mostly performs at rocket speed - there are however significant delays (3-8 seconds) when navigating right from 'browse artists' or 'browse albums' before the list of artists/albums is displayed. Once displayed I can navigate through the list at high speed.
I suspect that the source of my particular problem is as follows: 2596 albums with 48489 songs by 6223 artists Regards Richard -----Original Message----- From: Jack Coates [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12 October 2005 03:01 To: Slim Devices Discussion Subject: Re: [slim] Re: Best Performance - recommendations?
