Good day!
I'm friends with Windows. And I noticed such a moment that copying a group of small files of small ones takes a lot of time, despite the small size. That is, one file of 700 MB is copied in 12 seconds from one hard drive to another, and many small files in 1 minute, in 5 minutes ... By itself, the time greatly depends on the fragmentation of the disk, on the size of the small files, on their dispersion on the HDD ...
Therefore, I will give another example. I send the same way from a computer to a computer via Wi-fi via a channel that has a real speed of 1.5 MB / s. I get the same results ... That with a bunch of files the speed decreases. In fact, the same record from HDD to HDD only through a narrow channel. But when transferring small files, we get a lower speed (440 KB / s). Here it is.
Actually the question =) Probably it’s logical not to transfer each file separately over the network, but as if a few at once ... So that you don’t go to the file one hundred five hundred times ... That is, one machine would throw it into the RAM, it would join it to another would be sent over the communication channel. And not separately. Here ... If this suddenly works wrong, and each file is individually requested to be cached and sent, then maybe somewhere in the registry forest such a tune has been lost ... Tell me if I don’t think so ... Or so =)
Thank you very much!
