Roon is snappy responsive now

So far the annoying slowness in the user interface is no more. It’s very responsive and snappy now. Hope it stays this way.

I can’t say I’ve had that issue. It has crashed several times lately, but no big issue; just click the button and it starts up again.

probably associated witth the rainstorm that CA is ill prepared for.

In a few short months when the drought and fires start again that will long be forgotten. It boggles my mind- We put someone on the moon decades ago, but we haven’t found a way to collect and store water, then move it to other areas efficiently. Priorities I guess. I digress.

Just FYI,  I run Roon core on a Linux box and never had any of these issues.  Given how many streamers with Roon core built-in are Linux servers under the hood I would not be surprised if this was their most important OS.

@erik_squires I'm pretty sure I'm running a minimalist Linux too.  I ran ROCK on a NUC before I got the Grimm which has it built it (it also has a NUC inside).  But I don't know if Grimm runs ROCK or a version closer to the Roon Nucleus.  ROCK has been described as the operating system running on a minimalist Linux system.  I'm sure you understand this more than I.  Do you agree with that description of ROCK?

Yep, that's the Roon produced Linux distro.  I'm sure they offer something like that up for licensees as well.  Personally I run a normal Ubuntu desktop/server and it works just fine with the Roon debian packages.

Roon acknowledged slowness has been an issue in general and I see others on forums that confirm that can happen.

Obviously there are many different Roon configurations and library sizes so I would expect varied impacts. I have a fairly large library, use Qobuz, run Roon server on Windows, have many Roon endpoints and a few displays configured, run using strong Wifi connections, use DSP almost all the time, etc. I have had Roon for about a year. I compare Roon performance to Plex and Plexamp which I used mostly prior, and Logitech Squeeze which I used with great success for many years prior to that.. SLowness has been an issue all along and seemed to get worse with updates later in 2023. Sound quality has been good all along once a track starts playing.

So far it seems most likely the difference is due to the new Windows Roon server. Still have not tried all my endpoints since yesterday’s upgrade but so far so good and hoping it continues.
