Very Slow BRU

Postby Kamie » Sat Jun 28, 2008 9:34 am

Hi All,

I am changing the extension name for 20 files and it took about 30 minutes to do! I know BRU is very fast as I used it on another machine for file names, but not the extensions. This machine is powerful, quad core Xeon and 4 Gig memory!

What would cause the slow performance!

Thanks

Hi,

I'm really not sure, I've never experienced such slow performance. BRU can normally process around 200 (or more) renames per second.

What Anti Virus software are you using? Perhaps your AV solution is seeing each renamed file as a new file and is then scanning it.

Hi Jim,

Well guessed, I disabled On-Access Scacn of McAfee which stopped the slow behaviour! These are big files in between 100 and 500 Mb.

Thanks for the clue!

Best regards,

Kamie

Thanks for the update. I wonder why Mcafee sees the files as being new files, but ESET and eTrust packages do not. Weird.

Oh well, atleast it's sorted.
