@EionRobb built the latest dll already?

alexolog commented 8 years ago

I am running under Windows and don't have the setup to build from source. Eion's DLLs do not include version information and there is not indication when they were built and from which commit.

dequis commented 8 years ago

Looks like it got another build a couple of days ago. Try again.

Also, are you serious when you say that writing 50 kilobytes every few seconds makes your system less responsive? That makes no sense to me.

alexolog commented 8 years ago

It's not 50kb every few seconds, it's opening files 100 times per second. The disk is constantly seeking and it is noticeable on my old and underpowered computer. The DLL that I downloaded fixed it. Specifying the date when the DLL was built is a good thing.
