This is very similar to my experience of SlimServer. As my library has
grown the performance has decreased, this with a SB1 and a SB2 (library
currently consists of 800 flac albums). I was hoping that the addition
of the database with version 6 might sort out my performance problems,
but instead they have just got worse.
The differences between your experience and mine is that I never
receive the "Can't locate SlimServer" message and that I can sometimes
wait for over a minute for it to list albums/artists/tracks. What is
interesting is that performance varies, sometimes it can list stuff
quickly, but this is rare (and never when I am in a hurry).
I have used four different Windows XP machines for SlimServer, the last
one being a 3.5ghz, 1gb RAM machine. The perfomance on all of them has
been similarly deplorable. I am currently using 6.1.1.

See, this is the weird bit. I also have around 800 albums, mixture of
flac and vorbis. I'm also running 6.1.1 on XP. My hardware is low spec
- Athlon 1.3 & 512mb. However, using the tests in the original post
(Browse Genres/All Artists or Browse Artists/All Albums) the response
is instant - no lag at all. The slowest thing I can find to do is
Browse Albums/All Songs, which takes around 30 seconds (for ~10000
tracks). I can't explain the difference between my experience and
others.
Yeah, I have great performance on 6.1.1 too, 8145 MP3 and OGG tracks.
Still, the type of track should only be an issue when playing music, and
it seems ModelCitizen's problem is during browsing. SysInterals' Process
Explorer would be my next troubleshooting step if this was my box.
