Filepro and file size

[Richard Kreiss]

Here is a question:

The filePro documents often refer to a small file or a large file especially pertaining to index rebuilds.

Does anyone know what filePro considers a "small: file size or a "large" file size.

I asked fp support and got no answer to that question.

Those terms may have made sense in the early days when a 30Mb hard drive was considered a large hard drive.  However, that is the size of 1 picture in raw format taken with a 20 megapixel camera.

My new server has 2 400Gb SSDs compared to my first computer with 1.5Mb across 4 8" floppy disks. What is considered small today is very different then what was considered small in the early 1990's.
