Sonarr: Methods to Improve Performance?

Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.5241 (dev)
OS: Windows 10 x64 (1803) Enterprise
Description of issue

Hey Guys -

First, thanks to everyone who works on this project as I’ve used it for years now and it’s fantastic! I appreciate the frequent updates, too. I host my Sonarr in Windows 10 and it manages a fairly extensive library. Below are a few specs about it:

  • Series: 944
  • Monitored: 932 (Most of these only have future or a couple of episodes monitored)
  • Episodes: 35396
  • Files: 30795
  • nzbdrone.db: 150,649kb
  • logs.db: 28,595kb

I just have two questions, please…

  1. Sonarr has gotten slower progressively slower to where browsing between pages takes a while. It’s not at a point where I’d think it was a bug or error and I understand that the larger the library, the more it has to load on certain pages; however this seems beyond those two things. I realize there are many potential variables involved, but does anyone have suggestions for any stable “speed tweaks / hacks” or anything which may improve overall performance?

  2. Is there any way to define or edit the schedule for when specific Sonarr’s tasks executes? Alternatively, is there a way to disable the schedules then trigger each by executing a command so that I could control via custom scripting. Scanning a library like mine takes a while and obviously uses resources so I’d like to extend the time between tasks like this and other similar things if possible.

Continue the great work - Thanks, Guys!

  1. Browsing between all pages? I would expect hitting the series list is taxing, but otherwise the number of series shouldn’t matter drastically

  2. No it’s not possible, we do not have plans to allow for customization there. Trace logs will show exactly how long the refresh task took and will skip series that haven’t aired recently and have ended (only updated monthly) and the disk scan aspect is a simple directory and file listing unless Sonarr needs to process a new file.
