Roon: anyone else experience slowdowns after usage?

Since Roon is apparently editing user problems out of posts on their forum, I thought I'd try here.  

In essence, Roon seems to slow down and become unreliable - songs take 30 seconds to transition, pages slow to load, occasionally won't display tags, and very often requires resetting of image cache to show artist photos and album covers.  

This goes away when you restart the software.  Roon asserts its a network configuration issue.  But I have the same issue on two different networks (different gear) in two different houses, and others have mentioned the problem.

Anyone else have that issue?  Anyone able to solve it locally on a permanent basis (i.e. not the restart method)?

You should describe your ROON setup in detail. Is is a headless setup. Is it on a computer? MAC, PC, appliance?

I had some performance issues with ROON and my PC when I had the client and server on the same machine. The cause was traced to my NVIDIA computer graphics driver. So if you describe your setup diagnostics can be attempted.

I use a headless Mac Mini for Roon and have to restart it probably once a month because it gets way to slow to use. My guess is that it’s probably related to memory usage, but have no idea how cure it besides the old standby, turn it off and turn it back on.

Yesterday, I got my repaired MacMini with Catalina back (new OS and hard drive). I am going to installing ROON Core on it and run it like you are. Mainly because someone I am helping with ROON is using a MacBook Pro. I wanted to see what issues arise for him.

I will post my observations here.

@jji666-- FYI, I'm using Roon ROCK on a headless NUC. I do not experience the slowing problem you described. At least not yet -- the core has been running for 38 days now.
