Is there any way to speed up views on a Pi?

(1/5) > >>

Mastiff:
I have MC set up on a Pi 4 with 4 gig RAM for my boat, mostly headless and controlled by JRemote, but I log in with VNC to do updates of the library, import new files and stuff like that. My problem is that when I have it in Playing now (I have it starting up there to minimize the number of files it has to check the disk for at startup) and then click on Audio, it takes up to 4-5 minutes before anything happens, often I have to click a few times too. I have a library of around 175 000 tracks, so I'm guessing that's the reason. But is there anything I can do to avoid these "lockups" (which aren't really lockups because something happens sooner or later)?

stefano_mbp:
That amount of tracks is very huge... are you using an hdd or ssd? Maybe an ssd could help to make the system faster

Mastiff:
I have a 2 TB USB3 disk, and an SSD that size is too expensive for this project, I'm afraid. From 400 Euro and up to 500. Anyway, the disk is quite fast for a mechanical drive.

stefano_mbp:
Check on Amazon, actually they are around $200, Crucial and Sandisk just below $200 ... not that much ...

Mastiff:
When you add shipping to Norway and Norwegian VAT it won't be that much different.
