Like their SQL database page\_size settings, it’s just one more vastly outdated component of Plex…

(increasing the page size allows clients to load and operate much faster)

> As introduced in a [separate thread](https://forums.plex.tv/t/script-to-regenerate-video-previews-multi-threaded/788360/67), I believe the database could be improved as follows: [PRAGMA synchronous](https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_synchronous) from FULL to NORMAL. Note: The DB is already in WAL mode. [PRAGMA temp\_store](https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_temp_store) from 0 to 2. [Cache size](https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_cache_size) (not default\_cache\_size) enlarged. [Page\_size](https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_page_size) enlarged from 1024 (which is the old default but the current SQLite3 default is 4096) [PRAGMA locking\_mode](https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_locking_mode) from normal to exclusive. [PRAGMA mmap\_size](https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_mmap_size) from 0 to anything. Edit 05-31-2022: PRAGMA synchronous is already NORMAL as confirmed …

I think this guy nailed it on the head…
