What happens
if I change the Idle Time setting?
The Idle Time setting
has been implemented to counter the lack of responsiveness other applications
may show during BurstCopy transfers. It represents a period during which
the application will pause itself in order to allow other programs exclusive
hard-drive access. This goes to say that an Idle Time setting of 100 will
cause the application to do nothing for 100 milliseconds (0.1 seconds)
each second.
As an example, this
could be useful when transferring some files and starting other applications
at the same time. These other applications will start noticeably slower
while the transfer is in progress. In this particular case, it would be
useful to temporarily increase the Idle Time setting, and set it back
to normal when those respective applications are done loading.
