I'll start offby saying that I'm glad Microsoft re-wrote Offline Filesin Windows 7. Itactually worksdecently now.(Offline Files in Windows Vista was terrible--it consumed my CPU to 100% for 2 full minutes every 5 minutes, and after months of troubleshooting with Microsoft support (reaching their top level engineers), the problem NEVER got resolved under Vista, but that problem is absent in 7)My only concern about Offline Files now is the amount of disk activity it puts on my hard disk. With Offline Files enabled, hard disk activity is extremely heavy, causing a minor slow down of overall performance (no where near Vista's level of issues) but I can live with--if it HAS to work like that.I'm worried thatmy hard disk will get damanged with the constant activity Offline Files puts on it. The hard disk light on my notebook NEVER stops. I hear the drive churning away while I'm working, idle or doing anything. Does Offline Files have to work like that? In a perfect world, Offline Files would kick in and start syncing in the background after a specified time amount of computer inactivity. But instead it seems to work 'round the clock, causing my computer to slow down. When I run Process Monitor, I see the "...CSC\2.0.6\..." folder constantly being written to/checked/verified every 1 second (for those who don't know, the "%sysroot%\CSC" directory is where the Offline Files cache is located), and this is what's causing the wildly activehard disk activity. It's constantly writing data to the CSC directory.Can the Vista engineers work on a way to improve this function? There has to be a way to make Offline Files use less hard disk activity while the computer is in active use. I don't mind it running when I'm not using it, but it's still an issue enough to mention here in the forums.
