How to increase performance of READ operations.

Today we are releasing new version of TntDrive that adds support for caching of READ requests.

This could improve performance if you are using TntDrive mostly for reading the files.

There are two options that control how this feature will work:

1. To cache only those parts of the file that were requested.
2. To prefetch and cache the entire file after receiving the first READ request.
   (You can filter the files by size to avoid high bandwidth usage)

Open Tools -> Options -> Advanced to enable caching for READ requests.

Note that TntDrive will not update the cache automatically if file was changed outside of TntDrive. Amazon S3 doesn't send any notifications about file change.

You can use the following command to reset the cache: Tools -> Reset cache

You can also reset the cache automatically using simple batch file and Windows Task Scheduler. To reset the cache from a batch file, simply delete the read directory in TntDrive's temp folder.
