Room needs to create software that just works with the avg subscribers computers

throttling the background processing as suggested helps reserve processing power for other tasks so that is a good idea.

Brain Farts w/ Roon Nucleus
I have an original Roon Nucleus with a SSD drive in it. Around 3GB of music. Together with Tidal, Roon tells me that I have 2039 Artists, 4312 Albums, 61239 tracks, and 136 composers. That is likely more than most users, but not as many as some of you, so I have read.
On a fairly regular basis, Roon has these brain farts moments, lasting 10-15 minutes, where I get the twirling Roon Icon and the system is shut down from playback. It always eventually comes back. I don’t know the technical term, but I think it is a resort, reorganizing, re-something to the whole data base of music. It always happens at the most inopportune time. Roon online forum has never come clean for me with an answer/fix.
I have revamped my Ethernet cabling and both the Roon Nucleus and the DAC/Streamer are mainlined, so I know it is not network drop outs.
I’ve read that others have had a similar problem, but never read a solution. I have been looking into several angles to stop this. (1) Upgrade to the Roon Nucleus Titan. (2) Checking out to see if some other Roon Ready Server is a better functioning piece of equipment, like the Innous.
I have two DACs/Servers in the house - BlueSound & dCS Lina - and they both have the same brain farts with Roon.
I really like the functionality of Roon on the Nucleus. My issue is not sound quality of Roon, it is the performance. I must admit, that in all of my reading I have not been able to compare the functionality of a Roon Ready Innous vs. Roon Nucleus, or any other Streamer that folks mention here on the forum.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
