InSync sync speed question

Hello all. The new InSync 1.4. Does it fix the issue with slow sync speed when thousands of small files are synced? The version that I still have (1.3.24) uses only two threads for the synchronization, and it takes forever (days) to sync folders with thousands small files. Is this issue improved in insync 1.4?
Thanks!

No, even though they added parallel downloads, it still scans and queues up ALL your gDrive files before it starts downloading. Which is weird. It would be great if it would start downloading while it scans.

@marte @jimperio @dipesh would you mind providing further insight on this?

@josehmoyano As @Gabriel_Fair mentioned, we have increased the number of parallel transfers, but have not really changed the core mechanism by which we detect and queue changes. In most cases (at least after the scanning stage), this provides a significant speed boost.

To be precise, the number of simultaneous downloads / uploads is four in 1.4.

The reason Insync scans all files before upload / download anything is probably to minimize unnecessary uploads / downloads. This is useful if you’ve moved (or renamed) a large number of files. In this scenario, you’d want Insync to know not to re-upload/re-download any files. But Insync can’t really know for sure which files are moved vs. renamed vs. deleted vs. added until it has scanned all your files.
