What kind of performance/speed issue are you experiencing?
· The app takes a long time to respond to commands
Please try to reboot your Roon Server
· Yes, rebooting helps, but the issue returns after some time
Please try to reboot your networking gear (Router/Switches/etc.)
· No, the issue is still the same even after a reboot
Is there any change in behavior if you try to navigate to Roon Settings -> Library and set both Background and On-Demand Audio Analysis to Throttled or Off?
· No, the issue is still the same
Does the issue happen on multiple Roon Remotes (controllers) or just one?
· Issue happens on multiple remotes
Router Domain Name System (DNS) change
· I was able to change my router's DNS servers but it did not help
What is the operating system of your Roon Server host machine?
· Linux Server (Ubuntu, Fedora, ArchLinux...)
Timestamp of issue occurrences
· continous build up of memory usage on the NAS combined with increasing slowlyness of the entire Roon System
Describe the issue
Memory usage increases over a few days on a Synology NAS. Library size small with 15.000 tracks, memory usage exceeds 4 GB. My NAS is upgraded to 18 GB RAM.Roon becomes sluggish, music starts after several seconds, search slow. Latest build on NAS container, all remotes up tot date

Thanks for writing in and for sharing your report! We have good news for you surrounding memory related issues, our development team has a handful of memory optimizations that are currently on our Early Access branch of Roon, which will eventually make their way over to the full Production version.
So, the next Roon update prompt you recieve should contain a handful of optimizaitons that should help with the performance issues you face a few days after rebooting Roon Server.
Until then, I’d suggest a daily reboot of Roon Server. Or, if youre intesreting in migrating over to our Early Access version of Roon, I’ll share the KB on this process below:
Thank you for the heads up. Please check the content of the link for NAS installation of the early access version. There are still some references to RoonOnNas that could confuse users.
Question to the container version of Roon: Can I install EA as a second project and run it? The production version will be disabled before that.
Thanks for the heads up. For the NAS installation link, we can take another look at the content, especially where RoonOnNas could cause confusion.
As for your question about the container version of Roon, please make sure you have a recent backup and go ahead and try it. It is not something we specifically tested, but it would be a useful data point for future reference. If you do, please let us know how it goes.
We recently released a new Roon build with memory improvements. Have you had a chance to try it, and have you seen any improvement on your end? Please let us know when possible, otherwise this thread will close soon and if you need further assistance, you’ll have to submit a reopen request:
