They seem to behave similarly no matter how fresh and unused. Though I haven’t tested this thoroughly enough to be 100% sure it’s not a factor. Is this something that might affect performance?
Thanks for the input. I don’t think there’s any confusion (at least on our end) on the function of the bundles. The issue that we’re having is that the read/write speeds to and from the bundles are are far lower than what the bus allows and operates at in all other cases. We’re trying to figure out where the bottleneck is…
The only media we store in the bundles are proxies and the odd still/SFX/music track. All original raw media sits in a separate, non-bundled folder on the server that operates at full speed.
