Been using this software for 10+ years and for the last several years, most releases suffer memory leaks. Most recently running on a Roon Nucleus 1, of course you can’t see how much memory Roon is using, but after a few days it really slows down, even with extra RAM. And the PC I use for Roon Remote…

Local tracks: 27529. Qobuz tracks: 63358 32 gb Ram in Nucleus One

Okay, in sum that’s already hard at the limit of 100k tracks officially supported by the nucleus One. You may open an official ticket, support will definitely look into. Could also be that it’s not related to the pure amount of tracks in your case.

100k that is the maximum with original 4gb ram on the Nucleus. I would hope that 32gb would give me some benefit on the amount of tracks. Some updates on Roon are good and some are terrible. The 2.58 update was pretty sluggish on my system and made me reboot the One every day.

[image] BergeP: I would hope that 32gb would give me some benefit on the amount of tracks. No. Roon OS simply crashes if it is out of RAM. (It does not swap RAM to disk). If it doesn’t crash, RAM is not running out and additional RAM is simply not used - it doesn’t speed up anything. That’s…

Well I can only tell you that when the One arrived with 4gb it had big problems just scanning the tracks before crashing. After switching to 32 everything went better. As I said it’s very sensitive to updates. I read that the system should get snappier and more responsive but the total difference ha…

[image] NUC13 ROCK support? ROCK RAM does not make things run faster or better, it’s just a requirement. Large libraries require more RAM than smaller libraries. If you aren’t crashing, adding RAM will not help. [image] Roon Nucle…

Thx for the info and it says that larger library will need more ram. We had some ram leaks some time ago that slowed down a lot of systems and an update that should fix it. I think we are back in the Ram gate again.

[image] BergeP: Thx for the info and it says that larger library will need more ram. Yes because otherwise it crashes like I said. It also says several times that more RAM than the amount that is required to prevent crashes won’t speed up anything. (That’s always in reference to Roon OS only) …

After the fatal update on Friday I hope we will have a new update sooner than expected and things will settle :crossed_fingers:t5:

what is your count of Unidentified albums ? It would seem that plays a role Simple fix Get Up, start coffee machine , restart ROCK , all ready at the same time . Problem what problem :smiling_face_with_horns:

Be great if they can release a version of Roon without memory leaks
