Ah, ok, understand. Yes, I'm installaing the bin file, though of the 7.9
flavour. But I've been on 7.8 before that.

Please note that "load" can mean many things. Eg. CPU load can be low,
because the system is waiting for some disk IO. Eg. the LMS scanner
would not max out the CPU, as it's waiting for some disk read/writes.

two differences: LMS is using 41% CPU and disk IO is higher in the
second case (CPU wait is 10.8% vs. 4.9%). LMS is very active. Is the
scanner still running at this point? From the "squeezeboxserve" line it
seems unlikely this is the server itself, as the the memory usage is
very low. Would either be the scanner, or the server still in the
process of being started. Please make sure LMS is up and running, idling
and not scanning before you run any further test.
