Hello,
I came on board with version 3.27 and do a lot of duplicate checking across network shares on our local LAN. I hadn't used DC in a few months and decided to install 4.03 today.
Within a few minutes of setting up a compare between two sets of folders - one on our current data server and another much older drive on a secondary server - that was at one time - the source for the newer server - i noticed it is taking a long long time to generate hashes and get some actual selectable results.
I have a current scan going right now with 93000 files and the thing has been calculating hashes for over an hour. Back with 3.27 - a similar search would take a few moments and I could start clipping files.
Obviously - I have my settings (MD5 etc etc) on the slowest most detailed dupe check ever - which I probably do not need.
What setting do I need to quickly plow through several thousand files to show me what's not needed on my old drive so I can delete it right away?
Cheers,
VP
Why is this software so slow now?

Slightly different (& old at this point), but I had run into, NAS Scan Speed Extremely Slow.
(That would have been duplicate DC v3, as v4 won't run on that computer [XP OS].)
