hi Bill-- lots of great comments in your post, thanks for taking the
time to post that.

On the delay when hitting search Artists/Albums (you didn't mention
Tracks, which will be MUCH worse): I fixed that on our development tree
and you'll see that delay disappear entirely when 7.0.1 is released.

Also, I think the important take-home on that "5-6 room" limitation
talking point is that it's largely bogus. The limitation is not
SqueezeCenter or Squeezeboxes, it's newtork bandwidth and CPU power.
Throw enough of both at the problem (fast server, wired network) and
you can go well beyond that.

Coming up with a rule-of-thumb limit is useful for the masses, who
can't be bothered with details (no offense, masses, we love your
orders). The assumption is that they are typically installing on a WiFi
network, which will be your bottleneck (don't let Sonos make you believe
they don't have hard limits there either; they have become FUD-spreaders
of late).

cheers,
#!/ben
