MC15 is installed and working as it should... periodically, I get the 'Media Center 15.exe" process spiking to 100% in Task Manager and locking there and playback via the DLNA server begins to stutter.

If I exit the GUI and the Media Server and then re-run, I get 0% on the CPU when MC is idle and 10-12% when my PS3 is pulling on the DLNA server.

The OS is WinXP. How can I gather more info to forward this for investigation by the MC developers? The intention is to leave the MC Server running 24/7 and I don't want to have to keep restarting it to allow for smooth on-demand playback.

You could enable logging from the menu (Help > Logging).

When it seems busy, look at the end of the log and see what it's doing.  Posting some samples here would help us troubleshoot.

You could also look at the 'Media Network' view (in build 58 or newer) to see all the transactions the DLNA server is making.  You would be able to see if there are a flood of requests or a bunch of open requests.
