I've been a long time user of xbian. I've loved it so far. Like others on this thread - I am having massive performance issues with this new beta, slow gui, bad video playback etc... I have the early rpi model with only 256mb ram. I have installed it from scratch.

ha, this is report I like. even with background study self performed. i like it !

yes, you are right. that's why CoW is turned off for the swapfile. you can check that with "lsattr /var/swapfile". should look like:

---------------C /var/swapfile

if it's so then let's try the partition: shrink the btrfs, shrink the partition, create new one, mkswap it and activate swap. let's see about the results.

if you confirm it's cure, I'm definitelly willing to put it into some early updates (actually I had this dilemma long ago, but noone was able to discuss on this level, nevertheless testing it).

what is your swap usage during operations?
(swapon -sa).

it's should not be so much. what you forgot to analyze is the impact of btrfs on sqlite db files inside .xbmc folder. let's focus on the swap first, let's look at the sqlite later.

Ok, what do we have to do? Sorry but I am only able to access these forums on an erratic basis. I would rather spend time testing that reading. Please provide instructions for how to upgrade to your updated packages, even if that's just a link to another post already explaining it.
