Does it matter that I have MySql installed on the same HTPC that is my main XBMC library with all of the HDDs located in it? It has 4 networked hdds in it that range from 1TB to 2TB each and I have 4gb Memory in it and a Q6600 QaudCore CPU.
I have a ATV2 connected and it seems just as fast as before putting MySql to work but the main library takes a while to load and it constantly freezes for 5 seconds and then its fine for 30 or so and then freezes again. Only started once I put MySql to work.
Is there anything I can do to help speed XBMC up again? I have at least 3 TV shows downloaded and added every night, but other than that nothing gets added on a daily basis...
Or would I be better off, off loading the HDDs into an older Pentium 4 PC that has 2gb of ram, to be my Home Server alone and having MySql running off of it?
