A few suggestions:

I wonder if some flaky playlists might be the problem.  I had serious
slowdowns, but when I pointed the playlist folder to an empty
directory, everything sped up considerably.  I have since rebuilt the
playlists which contained invalid pointers.

Also, you might try dropping back to an earlier version of Slimserver.
5.4.1 was a stable release that worked very well for me.  It could be
that the 6.x code is not optimized yet, especially for a collection
that large.

One more thing to try would be to point slimserver to a subsection of
your collection.  Give it a library of 1000 tracks and see what
happens.  It might be that your collection is so large, it is
overwhelming either the hardware or the software.  But if the response
is still slow with a small library, then the size of the library
probably isn't the issue.

If all else fails, you might just need a dedicated server with a fast
CPU, plenty of RAM, and IDE or SATA drives.  50k FLACs is a large
collection.  It might be worth the investment to overspec the hardware
just to be sure.
