Of course, and using a faster CPU with more memory helps as well. But Phil, havn't you also complained that the SlimServer is not stable enough? The 5.* codebase was not suitable for doing a lot of things, like improving handling of meta data (songs, composer, orchestra, etc.) as well as not being well designed for splitting into separate processes/threads so that "thread priority" can be managed. There is essentially only one big thread in the 5.* code. Part of the push to 6.* was to pull the parts into separate parts so that later versions could be more rational about threads, processes and multi-processor support. Reminds me of how God was able to build the universe in only six days --- no installed base. SlimDevices is a little firm making cool hardware. I can deal with that.
