Scan performance

• Better: scan files as fast as possible. Performance can be reduced since this option uses a high amount of CPU resources.
• Balanced: scan files at a moderate pace. This option does not tax the CPU as much as Better but the time to complete a scan is longer.
• Power saver: scan flies slower and in the background. The demand upon the CPU is significantly reduced but the scan takes quite some time to complete.
