It would be cool if FractalBot would send an empty preset to the edit buffer just before sending a firmware, so the performance would be improved, as a tip suggests in FractalBot
Or load up in anticipation of future micturition.There are several workarounds. e.g.: micturate during firmware uploads

Try backing up presets and cabs for the test. Pretty sure it will go faster with the empty preset than a loaded one. It seems like it re-loads the current preset in between backing each one up....I've measured the time:
2 min 15 seconds with a loaded preset
3 min 13 seconds with an empty preset
The empty preset theory doesn't work

Anyway, still not enough time to mess with The Dude's Rug, with o without an empty preset
Oh wait, it’s a time thing. Loading new firmware on an empty preset goes faster, is that it?I admit, I don’t understand the correlation between loading new firmware and an empty preset. I’m sure there is some great benefit involved, but I’m not grasping it. And being a buffoon when it comes to things like this doesn’t help either.
Could somebody explain this to me (in layman’s terms)…..?

OK, then that tip should be at the Receive Mode tab, not at the Send Mode tabTry backing up presets and cabs for the test. Pretty sure it will go faster with the empty preset than a loaded one. It seems like it re-loads the current preset in between backing each one up....

Backing up and restoring is when it makes a difference. We’re not privy to the actions occurring inside the backup, but from observing there appears to be some preset copying, perhaps similar to the Preset Manager when we swap two presets and they exchange slots, then when saving them the empty ones are written faster.Try backing up presets and cabs for the test.

No switching needed... It would send an empty preset into the current slot (without saving) before starting the load (or backup).Good idea. Firmware process could do it all behind the scenes : switch to empty preset, upload firmware, restore previous preset. Viola.
