Yea I don't have a problem with it per se, I just wish it implemented any sort of improvement to reduce the hard-drive usage. Say, integrating with the OS to read the same memory as the program will (rather than reading it 2+ times: this kills the drive). Or perhaps storing a list - with hashes - of already scanned files, so it doesn't scan the entire 30+ GB windows dev kit every time I open a large project in visual studio (especially egregious because it forgets it already scanned it when I open a different IDE or say... compiler). The thing is out of control.


"integrating with the OS to read the same memory as the program will (rather than reading it 2+ times: this kills the drive)."

Is it even possible to read a file twice while ignoring system buffers cache?
