Is /mtcomp ignored?
Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2016 1:39 pm
Hello,
I have been evaluating IFW and running some performance tests and noticed that /mtcomp has no effect and appears to be ignored on the command line. Using values like /mtcomp:0, :6, :12 or even :20 have no effect on CPU usage or backup performance. When I look at the log it appears that the launch command line strips the /mtcomp argument. Is this option not enabled in the eval version or has it not been implemented in v3.03 yet?
