iPod 5.5 80GB, disk spinup??

<< < (2/2)

AlexP:
As I said in my previous post, are you saying that dircache makes a difference to resuming speed once everything has booted, and all disk activity has stopped?

Zardoz:
It seems to, yes.

EDIT: just to clarify, resuming playback speed is just the same once everything has booted. it's just that the disk stays spinning for much longer (on resume) when dircache is enabled.

soap:
It sounds like the dircache update and buffering actions are competing for the hard drive and both are losing.
I thought this was a squashed bug.  Perhaps it has come back. 
The 80GB 5th gen has long had disk performance issues above and beyond the other iPods.
The workaround is clearly to disable resume playback on boot.

(Sorry, not much help, thinking out loud.)

Zardoz:
Makes sense. Thanks for the replies. (ps I don't have resume playback on boot enabled)

EDIT: Just wanna put my love for Aventinus (dark, strong Hefeweizen, Dunkel I guess) and Leffe out there! I noticed some of the devs are beer fans
