I have two HDD with 8 TB and 12 TB, which are able to transfer around 200 MB/s. I did some binary compares of a folder with self-made Videos (90 GB).
FreeFileSync: 17:21 minutes
SpeedCommander FileSync : 7:15 minutes
TotalCommander 13:01 minutes
Because I am using the “free” version of FreeFileSync I cannot allow multiple access. In my option, this option is not useful with a HDD. So why is Free File Sync so slow? Factor of 2,5 times slower is not so good and means in my case 2 days comparison insteadt of 1 day.

(Just to note, I'd expect xxhash to be faster yet.
I use a [heh, very] simple batch file to compare [particular] files [selected from with my file manager or from Everything.
