Hi Jay,
Rivendell has always been slow to construct logs on any platform despite
ram and fast drives for the OS and with space for the scratch files
which are not stored in virtual ram. Big library, lots of scheduler
codes, lots of events, scheduler rules, many clocks. I have a small
system [3000 audio tracks] which can make a log in 5 minutes, and a big
system [80,000 audio tracks] which takes an hour to create a log. Since
the hour is at 1am and I am doing drum and bass in my bed it does not
bother me.
The processing time is taken up by MySQL.
Looking at system demand when I create a log RDLOGMANAGER is hogging CPU
at 80% or so
which can be tweaked. I have just looked at this and can see some
rewarding long winter nights.
Yes it is a pain when you need to unschedule/reschedule after a
Clock/Event change. Fortunately we work ahead enough to be able to keep
this to a minimum and I have some clever setups that enable me to drop
new stuff in once an hour.
Yes it's long compared to 'on the fly' scheduling systems, and one
Windows based system which markets itself on the speed of log creation.
I have clients who have, or have had these other systems, and they just
don't do all the stuff Rivendell does. I can live with the overhead.
You can use a dedicated external music scheduler.
My winter project will be to explore MySQL and MariaDB and see what can
be done.
regards
Robert

I built a new virtualization server for hosting two Rivendell servers
running completely different stations and audio libraries. The new
servers are version 3 but generating logs is taking FOREVER, I am
talking almost an hour to make one log. This is on an imported v2
database. Any thoughts on what might be wrong? The new server has lots
of RAM and processing speed so I wonder if it is a database issue or
hard drive performance issue.
