3.Modify the settings as needed.

Scan Item Limit

The maximum number of file and folder scan results that are returned in one scan iteration during a job's initial scan. This value is used to constrain the amount of memory used when performing initial scans with a large number of jobs.

Max Sync Work Queue Count

The per job maximum number of pending file synchronization tasks that are queued in memory before pausing the current scan. This value only has an effect on jobs with large numbers of files that must be synchronized during initial synchronization.

Max Number of Scan Threads

The maximum number of threads that can be created to scan folders and files. This number should be set to at least the number of jobs that you are running.

Max Number of Concurrent Scans

The maximum number of scan threads that can be actively working at the same time. This differs from the Max Number of Scan Threads in that not all created scan threads can be simultaneously doing work.  For example, if 20 scan threads are configured but only 10 can run concurrently, 10 of the 20 threads will be paused at any one time, waiting for a time slot to continue working.  Each of the 20 scan threads will get a chance to work in a round-robin fashion.
