Good to see that the releases are getting more and more solid.
I just had a thought while looking at my transfers/prefetching.
What if you had the prefetch forward value automatically scale based on the hit rate of the prefetch? Perhaps you can provide a range, e.g. between 1 MB and 500 MB based on hit rate.
For streaming movies, a large prefetch works well (e.g. 150 MB, or even more). The hit rate will be good, thus growing the prefetch size more and more.
If I later then start looking through photos that are only 3 MB each, the hit rate will get pretty terrible, and thus scale back the prefetch again to say 1 MB again.
Just thought this could improve the general bandwidth use, and ultimately performance.
