+---- Thread: Slow performance on my Windows 7 Desktop but not my laptop (/showthread.php?tid=132805)
Slow performance on my Windows 7 Desktop but not my laptop - johnny_C - 2012-05-30
Setup:
Linux Mint 12 KDE with XBMC and mysql - Gigabit lan card
Windows 7 desktop (Ulitimate) pointing to mysql for movies and music library - Gigabit lan card
Windows 7 laptop (Home Premium) pointing to mysql for movies and music library - Wireless (300 Mbps)
All the files are on the Linux machine and shared with SAMBA. The laptop access and displays just fine. When I start up XBMC on the desktop it takes about a minute to go from splash screen to home screen. When I click on Movies its another wait before anything happens. And finally when I exit another minute before it closes. I removed the advancedsettings.xml file and added a video via SAMBA path and it was fine. Replace the advancedsettings.xml file and back to slow/no performance.
Desktop specs:
AMD X2 4200+ dual core CPU
Asus A8N-SLI Premium Mobo
3 GB of DDR (400 MHz)
2 nvidia 7600 cards in SLI config
Router is a netgear N600 gigabit
Laptop is a HP dv-7
I was going to post my debug log but pastebin says its too big (~1.5 MB)
advancedsettings.xml (same on desktop and laptop):
Code:

Can anyone help me with this?

I had a similar problem with my bedroom HTPC. All the other PC's in the house were quite fast to access the MySQL database except that one.
I ended changing my skin from Cirrus Extended to Aeon Nox and now it's fine. I was expecting it to be slower running Aeon but not so.

I'll try it, but both machines have the default install so I don't think it will help. There must be something with the connection to mySQL because playing movies is perfect, it's only starting XMBC, loading libraries and shutting down XBMC.

I have one in the bedroom that i don't use very much. So it always has much new info to get, update, get fanart ect. And that also makes it slow on saving and shutting down. But if i use it more often or nothing has changed it's just as fast. Could that be it?

Probably not as he is using a shared database.

Well I must apologize profusely for this thread. It turns out using the skip_name_resolve in the my.cnf fixed it and I didn't bother with that since one machine was working I didn't think that could possibly be the issue. Thanks all.
