Since receiving my SB a couple of weeks ago I've been battling periods of odd performance drops. Most of the time it's fine, but every now and then when playing tracks (FLAC) the SB would start to stutter and become unresponsive (in menus as well)... On doing network tests at these times it was always obvious that I was getting low(er) figures. At times when all was fine, I was getting 100% even on the 5000kbps. I've spent hours and hours trying to discover the problem, with the first port of call being the wireless network - which indeed even Logitech support (& people here & myself) diagnosed/suggested as being the problem (eg: interference). What it turns out to be now is simply some sort of conflict. It is most certainly (I believe) nothing to do with CPU uage or memory. If you look at some of my original shots from procexplorer you'll see the CPU and memory hardly changed/used. It seems clear that if I can browse all night on 'standard HTML' pages with no issues, but then just happen to visit a page with (AJAX? FLASH? XXXXXX?) Slimserver suffers, then something to do with what these pages require (AJAX? FLASH? XXXXX?) is kicking Slimserver out of shape. Maybe the timing of Slimserver is being tripped up so it just sends continuously rather than every now and then... Again, you can't believe how much time and effort I've spent on this so far, from believing (being told) its my wireless network, to finding out it's just having a browser (using no CPU and little memory) on a childrens website (or any website with flash? ajax? or xxxxxx?). I'll have a look at the link of yours... But I'm hoping my support call to Logitech will provide the answer - I'm hoping a developer there will spot the connection! ps: My PC was only setup a couple of months back, so is clean. It has the standard sort of anti-virus stuff (AVG, adaware etc), but more unusually VNC and zFTPSERVER, but nothing unusual really... -- NeilF shuttle sn45g, athlon 3200+, 512mb, xp pro, squeeze box 3 slimserver version: 6.5.4 - 12568 - windows xp - en - cp1252, perl version: 5.8.8 mswin32-x86-multi-thread, mysql version: 5.0.22-community-nt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NeilF's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13059 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38571 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
