Hello,
when comparing at cold start (1) the comparing is slower than comparing after warm start (2), meaning comparing again after a cold start. Why isn't it possible to gain the speed of (2) for (1), or the other way around, why can (2) be faster than (1)? Does the program do live monitoring or something after (1)?

The OS buffers all file accesses. You can get the faster speed of 2 by simply not shutting down the PC, but instead suspending it.

Ok, or i would need to configure my OS accordingly, so that the buffers are also used after restart.
Thanks for the quick response.
Edit: I'm backuping circa 3tb data by comparing file content at the moment. I have 32 GiB Ram, it's all used, and i cannot find a process responsible for it, i assume that the buffers are responsible for that. So maybe it's not a good idea to change the behaviour of clearing the buffers.
