Performance
Simple File List scans your system and files the specified interval. This is to update any changes that may have occurred in the file list directory and server environment. It then saves an array of the current file information to the WordPress database.
This allows the file list to re-load quickly from the database without the need to scan the environment and server hard disk each time.
