‌Disabling Prefetch

SynthEyes reads your images into RAM using a sophisticated multithreaded prefetch engine, which runs autonomously much of the time when nothing else is going on. If you have a smaller machine or are maybe trying to run some renders in the background, you can turn off the Shot/Enable prefetch setting on the main menu.

Get Going! You don’t have to wait for prefetch to finish after you open a shot. It doesn’t need courtesy. You can plough ahead with what you want to do; the prefetcher is designed to work quietly in the background.
