Compress Action Throttle


THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO:

  • EFT v8 and later

DISCUSSION

The advanced property is used with the Compression Action to avoid excessive CPU utilization on machines with limited CPU bandwidth. Does not apply to ZCompress compression or to decompression actions. When this key is of the form X:Y, a compress action will sleep X milliseconds of every Y milliseconds elapsed.

Add the name:value pair below to the AdvancedProperties.JSON file in the \ProgramData\ folder for EFT (for example, C:\ProgramData\Globalscape\EFT Server):

{
"CompressActionThrottle":"200:400"
}

Example value is 200:400 to sleep 200 milliseconds of every 400 milliseconds elapsed.
