New Raspberry Pi firmware & XBMC Frodo RC3

[endo]

I've actually repurposed an old laptop to serve as an NAS, a task the pi was formerly performing. With it's reduced load of tasks it seems to run better(although playback is a bit less reliable), it also eliminates the need for those packages on the pi. Thanks though

I do not seem to have performance issues, albeit the sickbeard site is tad slow to start and i have both sickbeard and couchpotato start with nice 19.

I have attached the couchpotato and sickbeard init.d files that i use. Hope that helps.

I bellieve it has to do with the "download package"(sickbeard, couchpotato, etc). After installing said package i had severe performance problems in xbmc, where the service would actually be killed, often within seconds of booting. I wasn't able to get a debug log, nor did it generate any crash report that i can find, however when i removed the download packages, my problems resolved themselves. as a note i have no overclock enabled, last time i did that i got a corrupted sdcard.

Would this perhaps be a ram issue, as i have the 256mb version?
