lms on Rpi 2 - performance issues

I don't know how many tracks these are, but it sounds like a lot. A
Pi3B+ might be better suited for this. And make sure you have the memory
parameter for the DB set to "High" in Settings/Performance.

Keep in mind that the SliMP3 has a minuscule buffer compared to the
other players. Which means that the slightest delay in streaming data
would result in interruptions. Eg. reading/writing data from/to the SD
card might be too slow, causing hiccups etc.

The SliMP3 only has a 10Mb interface...

How much memory left? The CPU might be idling because it's waiting for
some I/O?
