Lo.

Been struggling lately with Vu+ Duo running very slow.
Hardly any free memory.
It got to the point where I could not load the latest VX OE3.0 update and had to go back to an old OE3.0 restore (build 560'ish IIRC).

But even that was slow today.

Using Crossepg with OpenTV for the 28.2E UK epg and the rytec feeds for the German and Italian epg.
Don't know if thats the best setup - but its what I've been using. It updates at 4:30am each morning.

Looking on the pendrive (where the picons and crossepg directories are saved to) the crossepg.descriptors.db was ~80MB.
So deleted Crossepg directory and reloaded it.

Seems quicker now - but for how long i don't know.
Have been using swapfile (256Mb) for a while now to see if this will help things.

Is there general guidance on how best I can setup the epg for these sats and I can make best use of the memory avail.
BTW I have Icefilms, 1channel, bbc-iplayer and itvplayer plugins - but nothing else.
Also is it advisable to flush the epg every now and then to help things (via say a cron??).

Cheers
