[MacOS] Collection scan and update performance via SMB with Synology NAS
-
One other thing I've noticed, moving from linux to MacOS, is the increased time it takes to scan my NAS-based library via SMB, particularly with Update changed collection folders. That function would normally complete in under a minute if I'd just added a new CD or two. On MacOS that now takes well over ten minutes, even if I've added a just single song.
My library size is 22K songs, hundreds of subdirectories. So it's not exactly small. But the performance between Strawberry on MacOS vs Strawberry on linux is what's surprising.
Is there anything I can do to optimize things?
One additional detail: when doing Update changed collection folders on linux, I remember the tracks would count slowly at first and then zip through the remaining songs in seconds. So there was this slow stage followed by a fast stage. On MacOS, there's no fast stage. It goes at the slow rate through all 22K songs. Not sure if this a clue as to what's going on.

Okay, well, I think I've made some config tweaks that have helped the SMB performance. The full collection rescan still takes forever, but it always did and that's expected. The update changed, however, is now as fast as it was on linux. That was the important one.
