I just moved my eeePC from Win7 to Ubuntu. This is a slow-as-molasses eeePC with the 1.6GHz N270 (single-core, although Ubuntu sees 2 cores!) processor. So far, LMS is just as slow on Ubuntu as it was on Win7. On the up side, the switch to Ubuntu went pretty smoothly - the only thing I couldn't figure out was how to install directly from the hard drive (it's an option in unetbootin), so I made a bootable USB stick like everybody else.
So here's my question: has anybody tried making LMS faster on Linux? Bonus points if you're also on an eeePC! Or if you're just an idle lurker, which steps would you take to optimize an LMS installation on Linux? What do you think of the following proposed strategy: 0. Check the LMS "Advanced" settings under "Performance" (did that already). 0.5 Connect the LMS machine and the Squeezebox with Ethernet cable as opposed to WiFi (did that already - big improvement). 1. Make sure kernel (and/or BIOS) isn't configured to enable any power-saving features in the CPU (SpeedStep or whatever). 2. Recompile kernel. 3. Recompile Perl. 4. Recompile LMS. 5. Move the media to a filesystem that the kernel offers native support for (as opposed to NTFS). Anything else? Cape11 wrote: > I've found this post most useful.
