After giving my LMS servers a break and restarting them after about 90 minutes, the load problem is gone. The squeezeboxserver is consuming only between 0.7% and 3% CPU time according to "top" even when playing music on one of my SB Touch devices. There are no new complaints about not being able to connect to SN in the server log, so the problem apparently was connected to my server sending too many requests when being ignored by Logitech's servers due to sending too many requests. So, it seems there is a simple solution/workaround to this type of problem: When the server load is too high and messages of the type "Slim::Networking::SqueezeNetwork::Players::_players_error (377) Unable to get players from SN: Timed out waiting for data, retrying in 2700 seconds Slim::Networking::SqueezeNetwork::_error (500) Unable to login to SN: Timed out waiting for data" do appear in the server log, then one simply needs to shut down all his squeezeboxserver instances for more than 60 minutes in order for Logitech's servers to "forgive" them. Then they can be restarted and are able to properly connect to the SqueezeNetwork again and do not cause high CPU load anymore. Thank you very much Michael, for your swift replies and your precise diagnosis of the issue. I would like to use this occasion to also thank Logitech to keep supporting the LMS ecosystem. It is now about 8 years since I started using LMS with various SB Touch, Duo, Radio, and Boom devices (some bought new, some bought used) and already about 7 years since Logitech decided to stop this product line. In the beginning after this decision I was concerned that the support for the LMS ecosystem would end soon after the warranty period of my newly bought products was over. Fortunately, this did not happen and I am still a happy user. This continued support by enthusiastic individuals who can not be thanked enough, and who are apparently are also backed up in their efforts by the company Logitech running the servers gives me also a very good feeling about the company. So, in order to support/thank Logitech for this I keep buying their other products (which btw. so far have also proven to be of good quality).
