How can I maximize the application's performance?

There are two things you can do:

1. Firstly, you should decrease the application's Idle Time setting. This can be accomplished by going to the Options window, and decreasing the Idle Time setting in the Advanced page. This change can be done at any time, even during transfers.

2. Secondly, you could increase the application's transfer buffer size. To do this, go to the Options window, and increase the Transfer Buffer setting in the Advanced page. This change can only be done when the application is started manually, and no transfers are taking place.

Apart from directly changing the application's settings, there are a number of common steps you could take to increase your hard-drive's performance.

1. Periodically defragment your hard-drive. A disk defragmenter is supplied with Windows, and various other commercial disk defragmenters are available on the market.

2. Upgrade your hard-drive. Newer models are far faster than previous market models. When upgrading, keep in mind that higher rpms (rotations per minute) and lower access times are the ones that decide the real performance, not the hard-drive's storage space.
