Hello! Thanks to the nice guys over at InternetTabletTalk[1] who were trying out gPodder on low-speed hardware (N8x0 internet tablets), and having _very_slow_ feed cache updates, I've looked into the issue and found several problems with the current code, which are not that problematic on my 2GHz machine, but which are quite problematic on low-end devices or installations with many podcast subscriptions.
I've improved the code, so the feed cache should now finally make use of e-tag and last-modified timestamps for feeds that didn't change, and make the whole feed cache updating procedure a bit faster and less I/O-intensive. This should be very visible for users with many subscriptions. Please try it out and tell me if it works for you ;) You need the latest SVN version of gPodder and "svn up" to get the latest revision from trunk. Thanks, Thomas [1] http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18684&page=6 _______________________________________________ gpodder-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/gpodder-devel
