Dropping from full to 64M didn't seem to improve speed. I then went to settings and changed to binary compare (and left the 64M compare limit) and started again. But I saw the speed as it was proceeding, which is important. I started one and it went very slowly and I stopped. USB can transfer data fine, but a complete read of 40G from 2 sticks would normally take time, as expected (esp when one is USB2 which one of them is).Ī full content compare of this situation is probably 30 minutes or more (I haven't waited to find out). I mention USB sticks to indiate a data transfer constraint for this issue report (which might cause the problem to not be noticable on a direct PCI/SSD situation). Most of the files are very large in size (200M-500M) and there are only a comparative small number of 200 files. ISSUE: I believe winmerge is reading or processing full file data even when, during a compare, it is only set to use a small 'compare limit' and thus SHOULD only be reading the 'top' x MB of a file.Ĭomparing about 40G of files on two USB sticks.
