Is it the QNAP 659 with a dual core atom CPU ? Just try something 2000 isch .
As a benchmark I have a slower machine it has a 1,2gHZ VIA-EPIA CPU . It handles this quite ok I have 4000 songs as limit. But it somewhat depends on what players you have or how long you want to wait on the web-UI . Cueing up a lot of songs 2000 work well on my slow machine but what does not work well is shuffle when I use my Touch Radio or Controller it works well on my SB3 or BOOM . My server can shuffle barely 200 songs on a Touch but 4000 on my BOOM . So I installed erlands Dynamic Playlist plugin instead, it can for example pick random songs from saved playlist this function replaces shuffle and bypasses this weird squeezebox limit by working just like the random function in cueing up for example 10 songs at the time but continually fill up the playlist later. Dynamic Playlist also have for example latest played, so you can see recently played songs . With Dynamic playlist plugin you can have playlist that are larger than the server really can handle but use them anyway. Just set the limit so large that you can scan your playlists. I prefer to create my playlist with other applications than squeezeboxserver. There is something odd about the sbs design as large playlists really loads the server. I filed a bug: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16089 It was scheduled for bug meeting in april 27 this year, then nothing ? No more response so the outcome of that meeting was ?
