Zip Extract File In Memory

Determines if the file zip process runs in-memory or through file streams. Files larger than 2 GB are always zipped through file streams.

When enabled, extract files smaller than 2 GB are read and compressed in memory in a single pass. Larger files — or all files, when the setting is disabled — are converted and compressed through file streams instead.

When to Change This Setting​

Keep the default Y for faster compression of typical extract files. Disable it to keep memory usage low on hosts that process many or large extract files concurrently.
