How often do you reboot your Roon core?

Here’s my feeling: Despite ongoing improvements to mono and more and more code from Microsoft.NET being merged in, Microsoft’s garbage collector is still better at handling the massive in-memory object count that comes with a library of that size. For most libraries the gap is negligible–there’s just some design choices in that GC that start to become more painful around 4-5mm objects on the heap, and really large music libraries can push things that high.

In case one has a large library (500K+ tracks), rebooting becomes necessary just to reclaim wasted memory per above quote. Sorry about not mentioning this in my last post. My macmini (late 2012) is still sound. I don’t think it is broken or slow. Many people tell me that mini of this vintage is not up to the task but I do not agree with the idea that one needs a powerful machine to overcome garbage collection deficiency in one’s code. I also hate the fact that I am counted as the 1% of roon users who have large library and not cared for enough in the support queue priority. Should I sit still?
