I currently have 3 machines running XBMC. Each currently has its own database that I keep more or less up to date but one, an Acer Revo Aspire, is slow scraping and especially opening and sorting my music library. I don't recall the actual number but my music library has something in the order of 85,000 tracks. My server's something of a beast with plenty of RAM and i have a fast network so I'm pretty sure it could serve data faster than the Revo could sort it out. On the other hand my everyday TV HTPC has a fast CPU, SSD and also more RAM than necessary so it can rip through stuff very quickly, including the music library.
Question is, would XBMC's performance using a common SQL database be noticeably different on my everyday HTPC if I did so? The server also has a SSD the database would be stored on, and I would likely cache the entire database in RAM. Thoughts?
