Funny, I came here to make a post asking if there's any way to improve performance on low-end machines. Hitting "play" on a directory with a few hundred files in it (say I want to listen to a shuffle of all my alternative music, or whatever) is absolutely glacial on my even more lowly 600MHz VIA Eden CPU (vaguely comparable to a 350MHz original Celeron, or so I've heard). The Squeezebox freezes hard for like 15 seconds until SlimServer can get itself together to build the playlist and start servicing UI requests again. I really hope future releases will address low-end performance, as I suspect that a fair portion of users are running SlimServer on NAS type boxes that aren't exactly powerhouses. And those users tend to be the type that submit bug reports and patches and get things improved, I'd wager. -- neurophyre ------------------------------------------------------------------------ neurophyre's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1758 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28414 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
