Especially the web server IS a resource hog. Plus it's slow as hell, I believe SC would be better off if that got removed and replaced by a standalone web server like lighttpd. Also the use of MySQL is not really efficient.
That said: All of these issues are being worked, AFAIK, there's a "noweb" option for SC 7.4 plus SQLite support. For some issues, claiming SC to be a resource hog is NOT fair. For example when it's transcoding and things like that. Requiring more ressources than other servers when using features those other servers don't even have is BS. A lot of the resource requirements of SC stem from stuff like that. > > Squeezebox can not act as an Airport Express for iTunes because APPLE > will not allow it. > Apple allowed it for others.I suspect those became poor over the agreement, though... -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63775 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
