Méven Car has detailed the recent performance enhancements and features introduced in the Dolphin file manager 26.08 release and the KIO framework in two blog posts. The first post discusses the new features and performance optimizations, while the second post focuses on the performance improvements and benchmarks for various Dolphin releases.
The summary highlights that copying many small files is now more than twice as fast as it was in April, with the improvement attributed to the reduction in per-file overhead.
