With LMS Playing a file from a storage device - means lots of small reads and not one big one which is what happens when you do a file copy. Testing throughput is not a case of seeing how fast it takes to copy the file but how fast a number of small reads take each with a time gap in between. Which caching and readahead strategies are enabled for the mounted device may be a factor. For removable devices some system reduce caching to make sure there are minimal problems if the device is just pulled form system rather then unmounted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117034 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
