Server unresponsive during metadata updates due to maxed-out single core (ref#UA2SW4)

See this thread…this poster did some investigating and I wonder if we can leverage this information?

Intermittent Playback on MacBook Pro during High CPU Usage (ref#0DJJF9)

Hi Benjamin, Unfortunately, I have been getting dropouts every time I play tracks on Roon. But I have identified that the dropouts are prevalent when CPU usage exceeds 90%, after which point playback sound dropouts altogether. I think that the UI was mentioned in your previous post and I think that certainly the UI in my Mac is an issue. I think that the Roon server requires a dedicated unit; sharing the server with other resource-demanding apps may not be ideal. I’d be grateful for any commen…

Interesting that we see more and more similar reports yet Roon support doesn’t draw any connections to this “known” (at least observed) issue.

So, I know that I have seen slowdowns on AMD machines on windows with Roon server, and the above poster saw CPU core usage skyrocket on an Intel CPU on Mac.

Here is the question, because I am not sure I have seen this: has anyone seen a CPU usage spike on an AMD chip on Linux?

I’m not getting my hope up, but maybe that is the magic recipe?
