People tend to use Snitch porn eraser software to help them quickly delete porn from their computer, and that is of course the primary objective of the software. But there are additional benefits to erasing unwanted porn material, and we will be covering some of these in the paragraphs to come.
If the user has amassed a large collection of pornographic images and videos, they can collectively take a quite substantial amount of space on the computer's hard disk. It is not unusual for a motivated porn-collector's amassed stash of pictures and movies to take up hundreds of gigabytes. This is another reason that porn detector and cleanup software is useful to have. Clearly there are benefits to be had by doing a porn cleanup, in terms of the amount of space that can be restored to the available pool on the hard disk; and this extra room can then be used for legitimate purposes. The size of files that average users access in their day-to-day business is typically fairly small, text documents, e-mails, etc. and in comparison, but even a modest collection of downloaded porn can take up a relatively large chunk of hard disk room. It is perhaps not widely known that having a large number of files on your disk can slow down the computer system to some degree, and erasing them can speed it up, so this will be covered next.
Most peoples' yardstick for determining how 'good' their computer is, is rooted its general performance and responsiveness, and its ability to do what they want it to when they ask. The performance is most noticable when opening and using the applications that the user invokes most frequently. so it's handy to realise that cleaning up that hidden porn library can improve responsiveness of the system. Why is this? there are a few key reasons that erasing porn files can speed up the system. Firstly, think about what happens when you have a few important files on your drive surrounded by thousands of inappropriate images and videos that are less frequently used. In order for the hard drive's read head to get to those important files, it has to move a larger distance to get to the next file of interest when it has to skip over a bunch of other files that may be in the way. Instead of having all your important files in a tight cluster on your hard disk where they can be accessed rapidly, they can be interspersed amongst all the other porn files that are being stored on the hard disk. This will mean slow retrieval times, and make your hard disk work harder to get the data you need. Suddenly anti porn software sounds like a good idea.
Also, think what happens when porn files are being periodically saved and then deleted. Adding and erasing moderate size files repeatedly can lead to disk fragmentation; imagine that you have a contiguous block of data on the hard disk, you then delete 10 small files and write one large file. When there isn't much free space left, the system will break the larger file up into multiple pieces and slot them in to the empty spaces left by the small files. This is called fragmentation, and it means that the hard disk now has to seek (physically move the read head) 10 times to retrieve the one larger file. Technical readers will know that seek time is by far the slowest aspect of retrieving data, with typical average seek times being in the 6 to 10 millisecond range, meaning the time needed to access 10 fragments that are scattered across the surface area of the disk requires 60-100mS on average.
So clearly fragmentation is very undesirable, and can be a significant source of computer slowdowns. The second factor is that the more files there are listed in the drive's file allocation table, the more time it takes to look up the location of the file, so bogging down your allocation tables with many thousands of useless files can mean additional delays in file retrieval.
One less considered factor is that if a hard drive's read head has to jump around a lot more to retrieve the files you need, the hard drive's useful life will be reduced. This is a simple truth that holds for every electromechanical device. The hard drive's read head is mounted on a bearing, and all bearings wear the harder you work them, leading to runout (play) in the bearing and causing the head to flop around microscopically, which leads to read errors and read delays.
We can see that by simply erasing inappropriate material such as porn from your hard disk, you can consolidate all your most useful and important files and documents into one compact area on your disk surface, which will free up disk space, speed up your system, and reduce wear on the key mechanical components that make your computer function properly.
