ProVide is using alot of CPU. What can i do?

High CPU usage is most commonly caused when HTTPS is enabled with Indexing turned on, especially if there are many files and folders to index.

This is normal during the initial indexing process. Once the indexing is complete, CPU usage should return to normal levels.

If you’d like to limit how much system resources ProVide uses, you can fine-tune the following settings in the settings.ini file.

[Maximum SendBufferSize]
8388608
[Maximum RecvBufferSize]
1048576
[Disk Write Buffer Enabled]
True
[Disk Write Buffer Size]
65536
[Max background threads for cache updates]
16

Important:
Before editing settings.ini, make sure to stop the ProVide service. If you don’t, the service may overwrite your changes when it shuts down.
