# ABS vs AudioSilo benchmark: v251-1000-m4b

Run 2026-10-30T05:49:32+0000 to 2026-10-30T06:32:25+0000, total 2564.0 s. Library `/mnt/user/librivox/tier-1000-m4b` at start: 1000 book folders, 4588 MP3 + 1046 M4B files, 153.18 GiB; at end: 1000 folders.

Host: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-N305, 8 CPUs, 16150928 kB RAM, kernel 6.1.106-Unraid, Docker 24.0.9. Load average at start 0.5/1.28/1.44, at end 1.24. Other containers running on the host (idle, untouched): 19.

- Library on disk during the Audiobookshelf run: 1000 folders before, 1000 after.
- Library on disk during the AudioSilo run: 1000 folders before, 1000 after.

Settings (scan,rescan,startup,latency,web,admin): initial scans x3 (fresh data each), no-change rescans x3 cold + x3 warm, cold starts x3, API 5 warm-up + 100 timed requests each, concurrency 20 clients x 20 s, web UI 5 runs per page and cache state. AudioSilo metadata setting: default.

## Memory, CPU and disk

`docker` = docker stats MEM USAGE (cgroup memory.current minus inactive_file). `anon` = cgroup anonymous memory (the process heap, no page cache). `RSS` = summed VmRSS of the container's processes. Peak during scan is sampled every 0.5 s; `memory.peak` is the kernel's high-water mark of memory.current, which also counts page cache from reading the audio files, so it overstates the app's own memory.

## Scanning

| | Audiobookshelf | AudioSilo |
|---|---|---|
| Initial full scan, wall (median, min-max) | 135.16 s (133.14-136.02) | 4.98 s (4.97-5.01) |
| Initial full scan, app-reported | 134.95 s (132.94-135.84) | 4.85 s (4.79-4.88) |
| Books found | 998, 998, 998 | 1000, 1000, 1000 |
| No-change rescan, cold cache: wall | 3.04 s (2.98-3.16) | 0.52 s (0.52-0.53) |
| No-change rescan, cold cache: CPU | 1.85 s (1.69-2.03) | 0.52 s (0.52-0.52) |
| No-change rescan, warm cache: wall | 2.36 s (2.35-2.41) | 0.53 s (0.53-0.53) |
| No-change rescan, warm cache: CPU | 1.63 s (1.61-1.67) | 0.47 s (0.47-0.47) |
| Cold start to first authenticated library response | 4.83 s (4.53-4.99) | 3.41 s (3.35-3.41) |

- Audiobookshelf completion signal: GET /api/libraries/:id lastScan changes (set when LibraryScanner finishes) and no 'library-scan' task left in GET /api/tasks; app-reported = log timestamps of '[LibraryScanner] Starting ... library scan' -> 'Library scan ... completed in'.
- AudioSilo completion signal: GET /api/v1/admin/scan-runs: the new run has finished_at and a final status; app-reported = finished_at - started_at of that run (server clock).
- ABS initial scans ran as `(forced)`: [True, True, True] (ABS forces the first scan of a new library because its metadata precedence was never recorded; this is its out-of-box behaviour).
- AudioSilo queues a no-change scan of every library on each start (pkg/launcher); runs recorded after the cold starts: ok 1000 books, ok 1000 books, ok 1000 books. ABS does not scan on start.
- Item sanity (by library-relative folder): ABS 998, AudioSilo 1000, in both 998. Only in ABS: []. Only in AudioSilo: ['Charles Dickens/Seven Poor Travellers', 'Friedrich Nietzsche/Antichrist'].

## API latency from the Mac over the LAN

Sequential requests over one keep-alive connection (first-byte requests open a fresh connection each), request starts spaced at least 25 ms apart (AudioSilo limits each client IP to about 50 API requests/s; the spacing is applied to both apps and is never inside a timed sample). p50 / p95 / max in ms; size is the decoded body (wire size with gzip in the JSON files); for the two-step play flows it is the first step's body plus the 1 audio byte.

Medians of the runs. Times in ms from navigation start. `first cover`: first cover image inside the viewport fully loaded; `screen`: last cover inside the viewport loaded (all visible loaded, then stable 1.5 s). Bytes are transferred (compressed) bytes; cache hits count 0.

## Admin health page

AudioSilo: the admin console's Health section, Issues (the default tab) and System. Audiobookshelf has no health or system-status page; its nearest equivalent to Issues is the bookshelf filtered to `issues` (items it marked missing or invalid; the sidebar shows the link only when there are any). It has nothing comparable to System, so that row is n/a.

Browser: Playwright Chromium from the Mac, medians of the runs, ms from navigation start. `ready`: the page's data has rendered (its text shows the result) and no API request is in flight; `last API`: end of the last API response.
