Well, I also suffered from dropouts with my SB1 wired and SlimServer running on a really slim server (VIA EPIA 5000 @ 533MHz, 2 250GB external USB 1.1 drives).
The solution I found at that time (and which I still use) was to run 2 simultaneous SlimServers on different ports, one for the music streaming and the other for the web UI and scanning, and to access the web UI through an Apache proxy to redirect the requests to the proper server ('play' requests to the main server and searches and web UI browsing to the other). This was pretty hairy to set up, full Apache configuration below. Since then I never experienced any dropout anymore, even when listening flac, searching for a song through the web UI (I currently have over 15'000 tracks) and rescanning my music collection at the same time. This is how it looks like, happy reading.
