The performance will depend on your hardware, number of tags scanned and number of tracks in your library which have the scanned tags. There will be performance impacts both due to number of tracks and number of scanned tags. The Mixed Tag module with the default configuration adds about 10 tags per track (if all tags exists), so if you are not using the Mixed Tag module in any configuration I would recommend that you disable the automatic scanning option for it and hit the Clear button beside it. I've tested the performance a bit with a 40000 tracks library on my Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 based laptop with 2GB RAM and it worked fast enough for me. In case there is some operation or menu that you feel is starting to get slow I would like to know it, this way I can try to optimize the database indexes. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and RandomPlayList plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29156 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
