Thank you for the replies.
I would be very satisfied with a 1-2 sec load time!
Here is my setup:
Media stored on a Thecus N4100Pro NAS hardwired to router
"Server" PC - Zotac ND-22 (Celeron SU-2300 processor) hardwired to router, mysql, shared Thumbnails folder via symbolic link
Client PC - Acer 3700 (atom 525), dedicated wireless N
On my Zotac which has the mysql and Thumbnails folder stored locally, accessing the Artist screen takes about 5-7 secs. On my Acer which accesses the network wirelessly, it takes about 45 secs! Before I shared the Thumbnails folder, it would take the Acer about 10 secs. My wireless network is able to stream 1080p movies without any issues.
I wonder if I put mysql and shared the Thumbnails on a faster PC if things would improve? Is the ZOTAC just not fast enough to serve up all the data?
When XBMC tries to access the Artist screen, does it read/load up all the images and data? If so, would it make more sense to just load up blocks of data based on last artist visited? For example, If the last artist or position I accessed was Sade, the next time I open the Artist screen, XBMC would load up 50-100 artists around the "vicinity" of Sade. As I browse through my Artist library, XBMC would load up more blocks of data as required. Of course there would a small lag but it should be less than having to wait for the entire library to load.
