LMS uses a local cache for its music library that can get rather large, and uses alot of space when "optimizing" the database. A Pi is not going to have enough ram. If you only stream from internet radio, then not as much will be cached, but then it's not affecting performance either.

Further to my previous post, I had a thought, probably a stupid one. Can LMS be forced to run entirely from RAM? That way the type of boot media would have no effect on performance? Or is there not enough RAM?
