Just letting you know the rpi 3 a+ is g <s>too slow</s> fast enough to run birdnetpi .

I tried it, even while cooling it with two fans, https://i.imgur.com/Vmx3kg6.jpg (rpi is in the box under the two fans). It kept the temperature within 30-33 degrees Celcius. Without it, the unit got pretty hot. Alas, even with this cooling it cannot run it smoothly enough to be usable.

Hello! Thanks for the info! Did you add any swap space?

With the settings for the zero, https://github.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi/wiki/RPi0W2%20Installation%20Guide, I managed to get the birdnetpi running smooth enough on the rpi 3 a+ ! I'm still cooling the CPU with two full size computer fans (its 30 degrees Celcius today). This might not be necessary in cooler weather. I also disabled a number of services as instructed. Maybe that is not needed either. If i experiment with extra load/less cooling and find something significant i'll let you guys know here. Thanks for this nifty application. Impressive !
