Hi,
my LimeWire 2.8.6 (and before) scans my filecollection very slow. It scans now for a whole day and has only I think 10-20 GB of 60 GB in the filecollection tab. I can few to the process because Limewire puts a file to the showed collection every few seconds/minutes. Limewire uses about 1% CPU time and also the harddisk traffic is very low.
I tried with Java 1.3.1 from Blackdown and 1.4 from Sun.

I had the same problem with another Java application, I think it was Phex.

How can I speed this process?

Thank you for your help!

The 2.9.* alpha/beta versions are aware of this problem, and still working on speeding up the hashes.

[edit] just noticed that the developers are discussing a problem with tall directories taking too long: would this apply to your situation? poster trap_jaw can probably give you a clearer answer.

I have subdirectorys in subdirectorys in the shared directory. Most the time are in the last subdirectorys about 300 MB's. I think this isnt "tall", right?

The discussion is not about increasing the hashing speed itself but about improving the performance of the FileManager when it has to browse through the directory trees to find shared files. You shouldn't expect any substantial improvements if you aren't sharing large numbers of files >> 1000.
