Yes, but the OP said he was using Softsqueeze while waiting for UPS to actually deliver his Squeezebox (and I gather they sent it the long way.. slow enough that Slim actually shipped another one that will hopefully go more directly) and a web browser with album art displayed. Java sucks, Firefox sucks (okay, so it sucks less than IE most of the time, but it still sucks :P) and tossing them onto the same machine as the actual server can be misleading performance-wise, especially since once the Squeezebox shows up the footprint of Softsqueeze and the JRE is usually irrelevant. My recommendation as something to do while waiting for UPS is to put it back on his slow machine, but use the faster Mini as the web browser/softsqueeze part and see if that performance is better. If it is, then he can use his g4 as a server (which is what he wants to do) and not worry about load. Effectively isolating the suckiness of JRE and browser from the server. (And, yeah, all software sucks. So does hardware, but it usually has the dignity to catch fire and self-destruct when it sucks. :P) -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30145 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
