Simulation Jobs: When link detection is enabled on Simulation jobs, the simulation job execution will be longer because the document must be downloaded into memory to detect links. (Files are not normally loaded into memory during a simulation job because they are not actually being migrated.) DryvIQ estimates a 5-10% impact.
Transfer Jobs: As noted above, DryvIQ scans for links while the document is in memory while migrating the file. Therefore, the impact on job time is minimal. The document's size has a negligible impact on link detection times unless the file size is very large (GBs in size). Link detection will cause a nominal amount of CPU utilization to detect links. Memory is not affected.
