Vortex to use multi-thread

[lucaslee98]

Currently using a I9 9900kf and i realized why the download of collections is so slow is because of the installing section of mods. Is there anyway to make it use all my 16 threads?

Vortex is built on a technology called Electron which doesn't have very good support for multi-threading so I'm not sure if this would be possible without entirely re-writing the app.

Vortex itself doesn't make use of multiple threads but most of what Vortex does is either I/O limited (downloading/copying/linking files and such), handled by libraries (that _are_ multithreaded if necessary) (like extracting archives, hashing files, ...) or would always be single-threaded even when using other technology (UI rendering).

 

Downloading files for example would usually be limited by your internet or disk speed, even on 1GB/s internet downloading at full speed from a premium server I had no problem with my cpu becoming a bottleneck. The main CPU load when downloading files (from nexusmods) is ssl decryption (because all downloads from this site are needlessly delivered via https) but Vortex uses a standard library for that (openssl/libressl), it's not up to Vortex whether that happens single- or multi-threaded.

Deleting mods seems to only use the third thread on my CPU and slows down the entire program until the process is completed, bit poor.
