GUI settings
-
Caching during the import is not very helpful, because the main impact on the performance will have the CRUD operations that can not be cached
-
In case the import is processed over a network e.g., in the cloud, it can be helpful to lower the time necessary to load the data from the DB
-
Additionally, the cache warming functionality will only work if the cache will get enabled
-
