Did you see the thread about a small plugin I've written to investigate your case? http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101469 It allows you to tweak some database parameters which could considerably improve performance. Please give it a try and report back about your experience. I'm mostly interested in results changing the buffer size: what size would you need to make a difference for your collection size (if at all)? > I've had a plain hard drive for most of the setups until I got the i5; > on that platform I installed and used a RAM disc because the New Music > function and many others became unusable when my collection got close to > 200k. The RAM disc uses 4 GB out of 16 GB RAM. There's a user who reports back that the latest 7.9 (which implements some of the findings of that plugin thread) did away with the need for a ramdisk. Mostly because the underlying database would be given all the memory it needs to keep things in RAM anyway. But I still lack feedback from a user with the collection size you have.
