There is a restartOnWakeup which is true by default, seems like it's the one?
There is also a setLowPriority setting which I believe should prevent it from taking all CPU, but not sure since never had such problem on Linux.

- ComputerGuru 5y agoLow priority stops it from consuming all cpu when there is contention for the cpu, but not when the pc is otherwise idle.
- TuringTest 5y agoIf the PC is otherwise idle, why is it a problem that a process takes all CPU if it needs it?
- ComputerGuru 5y agoBattery consumption, fan noise, heat, etc.
- TeMPOraL 5y ago'gnufied mentioned a Windows desktop so the biggest problem would be noise, but what about portable Windows devices? My secondary computer is a Windows 2-in-1. It's frequently running on battery power, and during that time, I often wake it up, check something, and put it back to sleep - all in a minute or less, repeated a dozen times an hour. If each time I turn the screen on Syncthing is going to run at full throttle for a minute or more, it'll drastically cut the effective work-on-battery time. (This article popping up on HN reminded me that I wanted to check Syncthing out. But what 'gnufied described is a total deal breaker for me, so I'm not going to bother for now.)
