I have zero tolerance for slow loading web sites and even less when that site is running on a local machine with 5% CPU load.
The slow-loading gallery issues seem to me to be a factor of a slow HTTP server (what can you do - it's written in Perl) and poor caching of artwork thumbnails. There are also ongoing issues with the database implementation, as others have pointed out - such as queries returning millions of rows to generate a single web page. Keep in mind that for the gallery view when you change the thumbnail size, all those images are regenerated on the fly when the page is served (then they're served from a cache). I _still_ haven't figured out why they all can't be pregenerated during the scanning process. Probably easier caching them. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30145 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
