I have 10,500 tracks and my slim server is taking 68mb at the moment.

I don't really know where this one gig figure comes from.
I don't think I have ever seen the memory usage go above
75 MB with the current, and as I understand it non optimal, database
structure. As I said I have about 7k songs so YMMV. Perhaps someone
with Linux and an *enormous* library can comment on the memory usage
with the current database structure.
Now don't get me wrong I run Linux for several servers at work and am no
MS apologist but I have not yet seen any issues with WinXP that are not
likely also problems elsewhere. And as for Windows not being a main
focus of slimdevices: well I certainly hope it is if they expect to
achieve any degree of market penetration.
