These all seem to be similar issues.
I fear Roon has a performance issue they’re not fully comprehending yet. Not claiming “qobuz-gate” or anything, just that Roon is MUCH slower for me, very often, since 1.6.
I suspect this has to do with severe network load associated with certain Roon functions - I have noticed it with searching, but it may be more than one function or activity.
I have seen all of these happen in the past 2 months. Since I use Roon at two different locations, and in one location the network has only a single switch and that location performs better generally, and the other location has a few hops between switches, and that is the slower location, I suspect that Roon does some things that are very network intensive and is sensitive to networks that are not completely streamlined. That said, I can watch quite a few hi definition movies across the network simultaneously.
Rebooting the core or closing and restarting Roon helps. But I suspect that is not necessarily because it is a memory leak. My guess is that It is because closing Roon shuts down some process that is the cause of the slowdown. The issue returns the next time the process is triggered.
One thing I have been able to repeat: Do 5-10 searches in rapid succession. See if your processing speed takes a hit. It does not immediately return to the original speed and performance is affected for a hangover period. Tracks also appear to load more slowly at the same moment.
