Performance Issue
Posted: Fri Dec 09, 2011 11:35 pm
Hello,
I downloaded latest version of Twonky (6.0.38) and give it a try before buy it.
I'm facing a performance issue of twonky server towards my device (well, not a real problem but a little annoying).
First of all, here is my situation :
I have a Linux Debian Squeeze server running on a Xeon X3330 with 8GB RAM. This server is intended to serve multimedia content (and other services) stored on hardware RAID5 array composed of 4 1GB SATA hard drives, OS is installed on hardware RAID1 SSD. Current load of the server is less than 0.5 during following tests.
This content (3278 video files) is also available by a samba share.
My device is a Samsung BD-D8200 using the AllShare feature.
Before testing Twonky I installed Samsung AllShare Server on another server (Windows XP / E6850 / 2GB RAM) accessing video content thru samba share.
All these equipments are connected on Gigagit Ethernet LAN (wired).
After some navigation within directory view of contents, I found the response time of Twonky Server took longer time than AllShare Server. So I made a little test, from the same start point (root directory of video content) I measured the time needed to access another directory (Manga/Fight/Naruto/Shipuuden in this example).
With AllShare Server I took 11s to load the content of this directory (with thumbnails).
With Twonky Server I took 31s to load the content of the same directory (without thumbnails).
It seems Twonky have some trouble managing directory with a lot of files (434 files in that case).
Is it a known problem ?
Is there any tweak to speed up response time ?
Many thanks for your responses.
