I have SlimServer (6.5.0) running on my general home server. This is a rather ancient box with a c.600MHz Pemtium II/III(?) CPU and a pair of EIDE drives in a software mirror configuration. Nothing sparkling at all but generally fine for most purposes. It runs Fedora Linux FC5 (up to date).
I notice a couple of performance-related issues. If I use the SlimServer web interface, from another client PC, to browse the music archive, then I get interruptions in the playback. Would it be possible, perhaps, to increase the buffering to (SoftSqueeze) players to overcome this? When monitoring the system performance with top(1), I often see slimserver.pl using 15-25% of the CPU. I find it hard to correlate this usage with what is going on at the time. What is it doing? Does the server use multiple threads (other than the separate scanner thread) or does it multiplex various activities (streaming audio, serving web pages) within a single thread? -- awy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ awy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7480 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28731 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
