Here are some harder facts:
I installed the tool htop and iotop:
sudo yum install htop iotop
and opened two screens. In screen 1 I run the command "htop" and in
screen 2 "iotop".
Then I started a complete scan of my LMS library and wached the two
screens.
The results in my case (29000 flac files, 650 GBytes total on a windows
share, LMS cache on SD card):
process /usr/lib/perl consume always between 70 and 80% CPU and write
sometimes with 500 KBytes/s on the SD-Card
process cifsd read always with 500 KBytes/s from the windows share.
The total scan time was 55 min.
LMS scanning is total cpu bound. LMS is written in perl and perl is a
interpreter with all pros and cons.
