Performance vs. Reliability
https://clipboard.quickaccesspopup.com/optimizing-qce/
- added the "Global delay factor" under "Options, Various" (default value: 3)
- add the option "Debug delays with beeps and popup tips" under "Options, Various"
- NOTE: the previous value "DelayFactor=" found under [Delays] in the quickclipboardeditor.ini file with a default value of 2 is now obsolete. It has been replaced with the new option "Global delay factor" with a default value of 3. If you find QCE a bit slower, this is normal. Adjust the "Global delay factor" to 2.5, 2 or less if you do not experience execution errors or see how to fine tune speed vs. reliability in
