You're using a cpu from 2011, that's 12 years ago... how is this my fault? You're asking for it lmfao
How do you even run games on it
I'm more surprised it even runs Windows 11?
As for the actual refresh, you could play around with "workers" under "Refresh", each worker does 500? games at a time i believe. You could try increasing the workers, but too many and it might hang the ui.
Errrr.... I would not set that too high... it doesn't affect a normal refresh, since that retrieves just the Latest Updates list.
So it only applies to Full Rechecks. The thing is, the switch to using the Latest Updates list for regular checks was a result of the forum getting hammered using the same method as for the weekly Full Refresh. As in Weekly for individual games, so one day you might see a 100 games getting a full recheck, another day it might be a totally different number. So I would actually suggest keeping the number of workers as low as possible and just make sure
Use parser processes
is checked in the Refresh section. Just be sure to hover the question mark so you know why it's better to keep this checked. I actually have it set to 1 worker, and although it may take a couple of minutes extra every time a Full Recheck happens, my interface stays responsive and I don't experience any lagging from it.
The plus side is the forum gets hammered less with a shitload of simultaneous requests, thus not giving the admins any reason to come down on
WillyJL for causing forum problems.
The downside is, if you can call it that, it takes a bit longer for a check-run to finish, but with the mentioned setting checked it doesn't affect your normal program use. On top of that, if you have it running in BG Mode in the tray, you won't even notice.
