Hello!
I use Dharma 2, with Aeon65.
Especially when I scroll to my moviedatabase, it lags as hell.
Load of CPU goes up to 100%+ when I switch fast trough it.
Is it possible to allow SQL to use more RAM?
My system:
Atom 330
Nvidia 9400 (VDPAU enabled)
3GB RAM

what on earth makes you think it has anything to do with sql? you're seeing the results - thus the the sql naturally has been executed and parsed.
it's busy decoding thumbs. you can use dds (search for it) to alleviate that somewhat.

My money is on its struggling to load your thumbs.
Enable dds support in your advancedsettings - it should fix your issues.

I read that there is no/minimum performance acceleration with using dds?
Are there other ways to boost performance?

No need to do that anymore, simply enable it in your advancedsettings.xml and it will process them in the background.

Thx, it runs now. Will it convert only fanart or posters too?

1) yes - but only for some of them - there's a reason it's not enabled by default.
2) well, if your gpu is UTTER suckage, it like won't even support dds. we will then decompress on the cpu which likely is still faster than png/jpeg decoding. most intel GMA does dxt just fine and would benefit largely - less bw required.
yes, we cache both types.
