Hoping the Slim Devices community can help me track down the reasons why
SoftSqueeze is behaving sluggishly.

Everything was working perfectly up until I made some changes last
weekend.  First, here's the 'working' configuration before I made any
changes:

- Win XP Pro
- SqueezeCenter 7.0
- Drobo/Droboshare
- AVG 8.0 Antivirus

Last weekend's changes:

- Same mother board/CPU
- Same HDD
- Same Drobo/Droboshare
- New case/power supply
- Replaced recent model DVD burner with an older CD burner
- SqueezeCenter 7.1
- Fresh install of Win XP (home edition this time)
- Kespersky 7.0 antivirus replaces AVG

Prior to making these changes, SqueezeCenter was incredibly responsive.
Even when calling up a huge folder (50+ tracks), SqeezeBox would begin
playing immediately.  The only exception was my Playlist folder where
SqueezeCenter/Drobo would have to 'think' for a brief period before the
list would populate.

Now that behavior occurs no matter what folder I call up.  If a track
is playing and I select a different track for another folder, it can
take over 15 seconds for the new track to begin playing.  When I look
directly on the SqueezeCenter UI, 'Loading' appears and the list builds
quite slowly.  Even jumping down to another track in a populated list
results in a delay before the track begins to play. 

One hint could be my router.  With all this rework last weekend, the
router locked up.  When I recovered it, it's DHCP was handing out weird
IP addresses (e.g.: 99.xxx.xxx.xxx).  Even the gateway address didn't
start with the typical 192.168.x.xxx.  It also started with 99.  I
eventually got the router to serve up a 'proper' IP address, along with
giving itself a typical gateway address but I wonder if the router is
responsible.  Or could Kespersky be causing the problem?

Thanks for your indulgence through this long-winded post.
