-verbosity 9 switch

Post by Dialer »

Is it smart to always run the -verbosity 9 switch in my console(s), or do I really need it only when troubleshooting? Presumably using it regularly doesn't slow down the folding, or does it?

I doesn't slowdown FAH ... it only makes bigger FAHLogs.txt files :lol:

I always use this switch because no one can predict when an issue may occur ... and I confess that I find the logs too simple without now I'm used with the switch ;)

(It's -verbosity 9)

It's not required. All it does is add some extra messages to FAHlog.txt which help if you have a problem. The total time to write those extra messages is insignificant, though, so removing it is not particularly important.

Thanks, you two. As long as it doesn't slow down the folding, I think I'll continue using it.

:roll: @ verbatim! Duh on me. :oops:
