But ... to get the ball rolling....

Memory is likely to be at least a part of the problem with slimserver
on a linkstation.

So here are some ideas. I haven't tried any of them, so take with a
grain of caution (and salt).

You can cut back on the memory footprint by using the following options
on the line that starts slimserver:

--httpport       => Activate the web interface on the specified
port. Set to 0 in order disable the web server.
--cliport        => Activate the command line interface TCP/IP
interface on the specified port. Set to 0 in order disable the command
line interface server.


Chances are, if you don't know what the CLI is (and aren't using
Moose), you aren't using it and you can turn it off.

If you don't use the web interface, you can turn that off with the
httpport option.

If you use multiple music types (mp3, flaq, etc) each uses a bit more
memory. Reducing the number of types you have may result in a very
small speedup.

If you have only one type of squeezebox, that cuts down the memory
footprint a bit. Support for more boxes (2&3 are the same, but 1 is
different, and original SLiMP3 is different) costs more memory.

Starting in server 6, there is an option for having the sql database in
memory or on disk. Frankly, I don't know which is faster. It's a
tradeoff between the linkstations paging and SQLs own paging. Who knows
which is better at it?

Tell us what you find out.
