Slower search response question

[Martin H]

Peter that's the same setup as me except for the fixed IP on the Air so I will definitely give that a go.

For info - I currently have just under 3700 albums and 48000 tracks (which sounds crazy now I write it down). So I could expect it to be a little slower but most of the time before it was only a second or two at most really on every device including the PC. Often displaying partial results before I could count. Maybe slightly slower on the idevices but nothing to worry about.

With the beta the idevices appear to be handling the search markedly slower than the PC now. Hence my confusion. If I had to guess now I would have to assume that the beta has either changed the way the query response are made and processed, that the level of underlying memory usage is greater and is impacting this processing or there is some underlying increase in processing power on the IOS beta that's impacting it. The first 2 sound more likely than the latter.

The minimal side by side testing of the live to beta was equally distorted with the beat slower (mini vs Air beta) and if anything I would expect the Air to out process the mini (original).

Unfortunately I don't think I will be able to complete a better documented test until tomorrow or the day after unfortunately but it would be difficult to see why this would be different answers from the normal usage and random tests I have done to date.

Thanks for the support everyone
