Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] just curious about performance
Just for grins, here are the results for the Buffalo LinkStations on which I used to run SS/SC until December 2008. The last versions of SC I loaded on them were 7.2, and 7.3.2, respectively. Both had been reflashed to FreeLink (debian). They streamed FLAC and MP3 fine, including to multiple sync'd SBs. The web ui was slow. And it took around an hour to scan 4000 tracks. But they still stream music perfectly adequately.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] just curious about performance
This is my shared server - it runs SC7.3.3 (production) on Ubuntu and also a VM with another Ubuntu instance and SC7.4 (testing). There's 2GB of memory and it runs very snappy and has no problem with transcoding etc (I also use it as a video server which has to transcode video, works great). Full rescan (local disks, 20k tracks) takes about 20 mins. Also very low power, which I like - ideal processor for SC IMHO.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] just curious about performance
Smallest I have run SC 7.2 on is AMD Geode LX 500MHz / 256MB ram (pcengines alix) Naturally the bogomips rates around 1000 (cpu freq x number of procs x 2 = bogomips, AFAIK) SC runs on one single core, I think, so I'd doubt the bogomips reading. Library about 12k songs. I have 3 physical SBs, and usually test with a few more software players. The only transcoding I do is when using AlienBBC. This server behaves normally, just a bit slow when loading the web interface, and when scanning the DB from USB drive (1h30).

thing is you really don't need a lot of CPU power to run a responsive SC. right now i am running it on a pretty powerfully spec'd machine (see my sig, but i have aggressive power-saving turned on), the bogus bogomix claims 6665.83... response time is of course pretty immediate. but a few weeks ago i ran SC on a 10 year old supercompact laptop that wasn't fast even then (Transmeta based!) with only 380mb of memory.. and it worked just fine, and response time was good. you don't need a lot of horsepower at all, especially if you dedicate a machine to run SC... -- pablolie ...pablo Server: 3.3 GHz Intel E8600 Core 2 Duo (8GB) - Vista Ultimate 64 and Ubuntu 9.04 64 Sources: SB3 (3), SB Boom (3), Duet, Accuphase DP65v CD Amplifier: Accuphase E306v Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tower (tuned) Headphones: Grado SR-1 pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67902 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

I see a lot of out-of-topics above concerning Linux but I thought I'd ask here. I'm wondering what processor/published speed and the bogomips of your SC machine. Please feel free to include amount of memory and your ideas of how fast response is. If you're doing the vortexbox thing, it's on the status page.

I've run squeezecenter on completely under-powered machines like P2/P3 ~500mhz. Performance was perfectly acceptable for medium-sized (200 album) collections and a bit of to-FLAC transcoding. The only thing you really need is about 256MB of ram for the server to run in. BTW, bogomips is just like it says. Bogus. It's a completely useless non-metric of anything.

I would not call 1000+ large, since I have 800+ I will claim that having one or more SqueezeBoxes causes you to buy more CDs. I ran for years on a P3-500 and it was fine. I think memory is much more important than CPU speed. The more recent versions of SqueezeCenter/SqueezeBoxServer take more resources than older versions, feature creep and all that.
