Yes, it is still PHP. Sync speed is mostly fine though, most of the 'slowness' which Nextcloud is known for comes from the sometimes sluggish web interface. Poi

Yes, it is still PHP. Sync speed is mostly fine though, most of the 'slowness' which Nextcloud is known for comes from the sometimes sluggish web interface. Point a fast WebDAV-compatible file manager [1] at a Nextcloud instance to get a better impression of backend speed. Point it at an image directory and you'll see as many php-fpm processes launched as there are thumbnails to process.

By default it sends some telemetry to the mothership, you can remove that by commenting out the relevant code in server/middleware/index.go, look for the init() function and comment out the endless loop containing telemetry.Flush()
