As a final note, in Ralphy's earlier post he says his pogoplug (which IIRC is practically identical to GoFlex) only takes 2h13m for 25k files which makes me think that 25hrs for 45k file is still not "normal" and some tuning possible and needed. For LMS RAM is very important as database is kept in memory. Raspberry PI has 256Mb on older version and now 512Mb . That is a lot more than 128Mb on the GoFlex. Recently RaspPU has added "overclocking" controls which can make CPU go faster and RaspPi also has a FPU and Linux built for the FPU which usually speeds up Perl. Finally if friend is using Squeezeplug then all all significant memory "tuning" has also been done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97586 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
