Thanks, I only have 1 folder to sync and the hashers setting is set to 0. Also found that really detailed description about hashers from you @calmh , thanks!
The “hashers” are used to calculate file hashes when we detect a change. The default is zero which actually means to use as many as there are CPU cores (i.e. 2, 4, 8, etc). Basically this is how many files we calculate hashes for in parallell. With slow disks, increasing the number of hashers will slow things down due to unnecessary seeking. With fast disks (SSDs or RAID) the CPU is the bottleneck and the default is optimal. The number of hashers is per folder, unless it’s at the default in which case we divide the number of CPU cores by the number of folders and then round up to one…
