March 18, 201412 yr Silly question. Why does the parity check speed always drop whenever I start the ui to check on the status? yes.
March 18, 201412 yr Starting (or refreshing) the UI queries the drives for SMART status (among other things) which momentarily interrupts the parity check causing the speed to drop.
March 19, 201412 yr Right...when the UI is open, unRAID's processor has to keep updating its understanding of the array status and painting the screen with the result--such as the SMART status. The processor also has to keep watching out for the user to push a button on the screen that might cause the array to go do something. 'Reducing the overhead' allows the main process to run faster. PC's work the same way...its just not as noticeable.
