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?
