"enable smart optimization" is an option that can be set for each module. Is on by default.
from the v4 docs
-{ Quote: "Enable Smart optimization
With Smart Optimization enabled the most optimal settings are used to ensure the most efficient scanning level, while simultanneously maintaining the highest scanning speeds. The various protection modules scan intelligently, making use of different scanning methods each, applying them to specific file types. The Smart Optimization is not rigidly defined within the product. Quite on the contrary, the ESET Development Team keeps it flexible implementing new changes continuosly which get then integrated into the ESET security solution via the regular updates. Is the Smart Optimization disabled, only the user-defined settings in the ThreatSense core of the particular modules are applied when performing a scan.
" }-
from the v2.7 docs of a similiar worded setting.
-{ Quote: "Optimize testing: This option instructs the NOD32 antivirus system to remember which applications or files which have been scanned since the last startup. If the content of a file has not changed, it won't be scanned again upon open." }-
Actual observed behaviour is with the setting off and advanced heuristics turned on, when loading my pdf viewer I get a 5+ second pause on loading on every time the app is loaded. When the setting is turned on I get the 5+ second pause the first time I load the app but then the app loads as fast as it does when the advanced heuristics is off. It then is slow once after either adjusting options or a defenition update. This behaviour is the same as what the 2.7 document is saying, a cached lookup result after the first lookup.
