Comparing and Synchronizing takes a lot resources in all resources (memory, CPU, HDD bandwidth).
I would like to be able to set optionally the following:
1) Resource usage: full, lower, idle. Idle would mean to show multiple options to lower resource usage.
2) Lower resource usage options:
- process priority options: low, below normal, normal. I don't think it would be good idea to set priority above normal.
- CPU affinity options: use all CPU cores, use CPU core 0, use CPU core 1, etc...
- option: use CPU resource idle:
- do process, when CPU selected core average is below 30%.
- option: use HDD resource idle:
- do process, when HDD used bandwidth is below 5 Mb/sec.
Feature request - option to lower resource usage while Comparing or Synchronize

See help file chapter "Expert Settings": RunWithBackgroundPriority. This option will lower the file I/O priorities for FFS. Further options to manage the CPU are not needed since FFS is not CPU bound.

Could be possible to have the RunWithBackgroundPriority option on the GUI?
Would be fine to be able to change easier.
