How to speed up hash calculation?
Posted: Fri May 05, 2023 1:00 pm
Hello,
I am currently testing DC5 - thus I am new to the program, and my evaluation period is on the run.
How can I speed up the calculation of MD5 hashes?
Currently, I am importing an external hdd to a virtual folder. My progress, however, is about 8 mb/s. In the Windows task manager I find that DC5 is using approximately 26% of my cpu, while the idle task is above 70%. Increasing task priorities did not improve these values.
The reading/writing speed of my hdd is far beyond this value. So there seems to be a bottleneck... somewhere else.
Since time matters I would appreciate any hints and tweaks.
Regards,
tobias
