Performance on duplicates by audio data content
Posted: Sun Oct 13, 2013 8:59 am
Hi,
I am trying to scan for duplicates on a drive with 730 gig (102,000 audio files).
I am using only comparison by audio data content.
I understand that is must read the audio content of every file and that, as I expected, took several hours...
But now the program is now longer reading audio content and is performing activities in memory
(it is no longer accessing the hard drive (confirmed with window resource monitor))
It is now consuming 22% CPU and has only checked just 23,000 files over a period of 24 HOURS.
Another program that performs an equivalent function (dupeguru music edition) perform this entire activity in about 3 hours.
I much prefer the way that Duplicate Cleaner manages the results.
Is there any opportunity for improving comparison performance?
