I have also posted a new thread about web performance. I'm getting considerable delays with my 60,000 tracks held on an internal IDE drive in a 1Ghz Epia based system with 500MB of RAM (Fedora Linux). I'm afraid I really can't understand why 600Mhz with 1GB of RAM should be seen as such a limiting factor (especially if you consider Klaus has tried it with Fedora, so the OS shouldn't be taking too much power. I have another media server. It is a Linksys NSLU2 running "Twonkyvision" (serving Music, Video & Photos). It runs a cut down Linux on a custom processor running at 266Mhz with a tiny 32MB of RAM. It also has a web interface that will search & list music by Genre/Album/Artist etc. I run this with exactly the same set of music files (on an external USB disk, so a slower connection). The thing that amazes me is that the web front end to this returns a list of tracks/albums/ etc almost instantaneously, running on a box with a fraction of the power of Klaus' or my servers. I realise that SlimServer does many things that Twonky doesn't, but when all I'm asking it to do is list some songs on a web page (nothing else running - not even any Squeezeboxes), what reason can there be for it taking so long (between 80 & 200 seconds to complete "All Songs")? I bought my Epia server specificaly to run SlimServer. As it was such a massive step up in performance from that used for my previous media server, I felt sure that I'd get excellent response times...... I can't help feeling there must be room for some fairly major performance tweaks rather than just having to throw more processing power at the problem. -- SadGamerGeek ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SadGamerGeek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6145 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25166 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
