4.5 Performance Tips
As I know that many of you want the best performance for each program they have, we will give you some tips to make your server run faster.

Console Tips

As you have perhaps notice, logging everything to screen can affect server performance : displaying lot of text lines really slown down the server (believe me).
What to log ?

- If your server has many clients > 20, then try to not log on screen superflue commands (specific command, frequent command, change directory ...)
- Logging to file does not take many CPU time so I think you can log everything unless it becomes enormous so that you should set a daily log.
- Do not audit (log user) who are not critical to the server. I mean that it is often no use logging anonymous user command. Or you may only want to log anonymous user to see what they do and trust accounted users. See configure logging.
- Do not log to screen server answers if not needed : try a SITE INDEX *.* on C:\ and you will see what i mean if you have 10000 files ...
- Disable "log to screen when minimized" if you run the server minimized
- Arrange the receive buffer so that it feets you needs:
(We recommend to keep it at 4096)
- Set the server priority to high if it is a dedicated FTP Server (Realtime is at your Risk, you'll be warned), Default is normal
