Many of us here use small, low powered systems to run XBMC. In theory this makes a lot of sense for an always on type of media appliance. For the most part I think these low powered devices (Atom based) work fine for libraries that are not too large. The problem I have is with my music library. I have over 30K songs. Accessing my music library takes quit a bit of time. I have done everything I can to help speeds things up by adding more memory, an SSD, and enabling DDS. Even with these changes there is still quite a lag. Short of getting a more powerful PC, I am not sure what else I can do.
I wonder if XBMC developers are considering this issue as well. People's digital libraries will only get larger over time. No one wants to put a full blown PC by their media center. Perhaps something can be done to help make access to large media libraries quicker with lower powered pcs.
