Wheaton, I found this guide interesting. 
The suggestion on the swap file was particularly helpful.  I have a new RPi4 4Gb and changed the the line in /etc/dphys-swapfile to  CONF_SWAPSIZE=512 from CONF_SWAPSIZE=100, and this significantly improved response time on my screen.
 I didn't notice any change in performance with the change to the screen driver.

A suggestion you might want to remove the "$" from your Code: selects as these should not be there and obviously will return errors when pasted.

thanks

Wheaten:
Thanks for the feedback.
I've added the bash prompt, to distinguish commands from text entering

I am having trouble with this. As I am very green in Linux and CLI that isn't a surprise. The problem arises with this, as I try to set up my RPi4/8GB with MC27:
After I safe the fstab and when I try to run the
--- Code: ---sudo mount -a
--- End code ---
, I get a "Parse error"  for the line I inserted:
 

--- Code: ---mount: etc/fstab: parse error at line 4 -- ignored
--- End code ---

as far as I can tell, it is, apart from the changes I indicated, identical to the code in the instructions.


--- Code: ---<full path to your library> /mnt/music cifs credentials=/home/pi/.credentials, nofail, vers=1.0, x-systemd.automount,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=1000,gid=1000
--- End code ---
I put

--- Code: ---smb://<IP-address>/volume1/music
--- End code ---
to replace
--- Code: ---<full path to your library>
--- End code ---
. I also changed uid and gid as they are different on my Synology NAS (I am assuming the IDs refer to the NAS and not the Pi but that may be wrong, too.)

EDIT: I would also prefer to mount the music folder as NTFS (I find that more stable and it works nicely on my iMac). Is that possible and do I just change the CIFS to NTFS and leave out the credential part? I have given the pi NTFS permissions for the music folder on the NAS.

Can someone, please, give me a hint as to how to fix this?

many thanks

Hans

For what it’s worth, I never was successful at mounting a network attached (actually router attached) storage device on my rpi. So as a solution I always opened the path manually from the Debian desktop on my Pi to the NAS, or from vnvserver. From there I could reach my music files.  This worked fine unless there was a power failure in which case I had to re-establish the connection to the NAS.
What has worked much better was attaching my storage device directly to my Pi and mounting it via fstab. I also use systemd to auto open JRiver. So when I have a power failure everything restarts successfully.
