Load empty preset

[rog]

I just noticed this tonight, on Fractal-Bot, whilst updating my FM9T to 7.0:


Why is that? Is it because CPU is being used with a non-empty preset, and using an empty one clears the CPU?

I tried this with the latest update. If it makes any difference, I didn't really notice it. Not enough for me to do it again next time

Yeah, I didn't notice until my update was underway, but it didn't seem to hurt anything.

Since I saw this message, I just automatically choose an empty preset before updating. It takes a few seconds. But it doesn't seem crucial.

For backups it can help a lot... For other use cases (like updates), I don't think it does.

I think that would tend to support my (probably obvious) theory that it's to free up as much CPU as possible.

Yes, I think so.

CPU and memory probably. I don't think you'll notice much difference if your presets don't use a ton of CPU. If the current preset is very high CPU, Fractal Bot operations can go really slowly.
