 ===== Folder Monitor =====
+{{:processors:folder_m.png?nolink&130|}}
 ==== Purpose ====
 This processor is used at the start of a workflow to watch for new files in a Local or UNC Path.
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+==== Limits ====
+The settings "Forget missing" and/or "Growing Check continuous" raises the RAM and CPU usage of this processor in case your Watchfolders contain many (e.g. thousands) "already processed" files.\\
+To work around the extra time/CPU load for "Forget missing" in case of huge watchfolders, use a commandline processor with this content: //%comspec% /c "if exist "%s_cache_record%" del /f /q  "%s_cache_record%""// \\
+Without any of those 2 settings, the Processor was tested for
+  * 500.000 Files in a complex subfolder structure
+  * it took about 16 minutes to pick up new files
+**NOTE** : All variables can't be used inside this processor, you can only use:\\
+  - Static Variable
+  - Time Variable
+  - Windows Variable.
+\\
+Potentially the processor can do more than the tested amount of Files but consider that it will take a long time to pick up new files.
