Back from the sticks for a day. First off, I have moved my LMS servers from Windows to VortexBox 2.3, but my workstations are still on Win 7 with SSD and RAMDisk, so I changed CACHE from RAMDisk to a fragmented WD 640Gb work disk for this testing.
Logitech Media Server Version: 7.8.0 - 1395409907 @ Thu Mar 27 20:19:17 CUT 2014 Hostname: Gladstone, Intel Q9450 2.7GHz Quad Core 8GB RAM Total Tracks: 144,947, Total Albums: 11,302, Total Artists: 3,146, Total Genres: 104 Tweak Buffer Size - 20 Starting LMS took more than 10 minutes after moving the CACHE from R:\ to E:\ , Windows Task Manager showed LMS was reading Persist.db and Library.db . Browse New Music - alsmost instant (used to stop server and music playback for a minute or two - the reason I went to RAMDisk !) Search Albums for "the girl" - first time took 54 seconds, player stopped with re-buffering. Second search almost instant. New Albums 2 seconds. This is frustrating, most searches are returned in 1~2 seconds where a year ago they would lock up the server and stop the players. Memory :Hard Faults/sec - Commit (KB) - Working Set (KB) - Shareable (KB) - Private (KB) SQUEEZ~3.EXE 0 - 314,692 - 332,528 - 23,044 - 309,484 Tweak Buffer Size - 500 Searches are returned in 1~2 seconds, New Music almost instant, New Albums 2 seconds. Memory Usage SQUEEZ~3.EXE 0 - 435,664 - 450,940 - 23,044 - 427,896 Restarted LMS with Tweak Buffer set to 500, took almost 3 minutes, however search albums for "the girl" almost instant. Other searches, New Music, New Albums and memory useage are as above. Back to the farm for a few days then down the coast for more testing. These results show the great work already done in optimising LMS 7.8 , and I think that a cut down version of this plugin with just the memory slider should be included in LMS as a Settings / Performance function. It also shows me that RAMDisk is no longer needed for Windows. A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wirrunna's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3225 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101469 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
