Roon Very Slow Currently

it progressively gets worse until I restart roon server on ROCK

Could be ROCK related.

I prefer 1.8 to 2.x. Speed never seemed to be an issue, but I don’t use streaming services. So there’s a bunch of network stuff not in use.

I’m on the latest 2.x, two cores on different locations, music files kept in sync via Syncthing but otherwise independent of each other. The one in this location is using 3.3GB RAM, the one at the other location is using 1.1GB RAM. Again, RAM use is pretty stable on both.

Denmark here. Windows Roon Server 2.x. Roonappliance is eating up all memory on the server and is making it very slow to respond (waiting for roon core) again and again. A restart only makes it restarting eating up memory. Not a problem before version 2.x

It was a problem for quite a few users prior to version 2. That is not to say version 2 cured anything, just that it may not be directly involved with the version change.

I would pay for a local version of Roon that needs very light to no Internet access. No way the slowness is me. M2 Mac Mini 10 Core, 1GB network, fast everything. I don’t understand this requirement for Roon to be constantly connected outside of my home if my library isn’t changing.

Similar issues existed before internet dependency and many thought it was a resource leak. If it improves after reboot then the internet part probably isn’t the problem or all of the problem. Been going on for years.

I went to an i3 NUC running ROCK from an older i5 running Linux and I have not rebooted since the change to the new system 4 months ago. I am in upstate NY with a local library of 32k. No streaming services. Spectrum cable internet.

After the most recent update, mine appears to be running more swiftly.

You should not have to pay extra.

It is silly, but apparently for (better) search done by/at RoonServers or something… Maybe better for streamers but I, like you, don’t see any benefit being a local only user.

I think (Behind the scenes of it all) the online thing is also to prevent and/or make it more difficult to steal roon.

I’m back on 1.8 Legacy. Im not one of those “oh look! Something shiny!” kind of people.

Yes, I have used Roon 1.8 Legacy ever since I knew the 2.0 needs Internet access just to function. In my experiment, 2.0 only functioned for 1 track after I pulled my external internet cable from my modem. So it is no go.
