Darrell,

I put up two Windows Explorer windows side-by-side under normal volume and the pattern was consistent where the proc folder grows while the work folder shrinks until the work folder hits zero at which point the proc folder empties out and everything lands in work and then the pattern repeats with proc growing while work shrinks.

My settings are as follows:

THREADS        50
WAITFORMAIL    100
WAITFORTHREADS        10
WAITBETWEENTHREADS    50
WINSOCKCLEANUP        ON
AUTOREVIEW        ON
INVITEFIX    ON

It's a faulty design that leaves more than half a server's CPU capacity unused due to the mere fact that they wait for all threads to complete before moving in a new batch.


I can't speak to what you see on your server, but that is not how it is running on my server. I just double checked again to make sure I am not crazy, but as I watch the thread count on my server (decludeproc) the threads fluctuate between 7 - 30 ( threads currently set to 50). It is not uncommon to see the threads move as follow: 11,8,10,7,15,.... While I was watching it I never seen a case where it went down low enough for the WAITFORMAIL setting to kick in. Watching the proc/work directory you can see files moving in and out, but never really emptying out. Its possible what I am seeing is an anomaly or maybe I am interpreting it wrong.

Maybe David can comment on this.
