Being a complete noob for Linux I discovered this option by chance and thought it might help. I haven't measured its influence separately as I did all changes at the same time. Are you saying that system priority settings for MC can be changed within MC itself?
Regarding OC, I followed this:
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/raspberry-pi-4-b-overclocking,6188.html
I didn't go all the way to maximum and kept the clock at 2000. However, I haven't seen the temperature go above 55C, even at load, so going to 2147 may be an option still.

MC manages it's thread priorities via an entry in /etc/security/limits.d/mediacenter27.conf check out the comment in there.
MC fine tunes it's thread usage and will put low priority tasks at a background priority and playback for example at RT (real time) priority with a bunch of different types of threads in between those two.

Thanks Bob, that's good to know.

I have another issue that I'd like to find out about. I am connecting my RPi4 via HDMI to my Marantz SR7007 AVR. For some reason, I do not see the playing track info anymore (on the Marantz Display). I don't think I changed anything on the Marantz so I believe it's MC.
I did see it when I was playing from the Mac via HDMI. Does anyone know what I could try to get that working again?
many thanks

Are you certain you were playing to the Marantz from the Mac with HDMI and not DLNA?
I don't think there is a way that metadata is passed through HDMI.
HaWi:
Thanks Bob. I was actually doing both, DLNA and later HDMI from the iMac. I might not have noticed that the metadata was gone with HDMI before I switched to the RPi. That's a shame though that metadata can't be passed through HDMI.
