Problem description
How fast does Analyzer process files?
Problem solution
The speed at which SandBox Analyzer can process a file depends on a number of factors, including the CPU of the machine processing the files, how many emulation cycles you choose to use, and charactaristics of the actual file itself.
Processing time usually takes a few seconds but can possibly take up to 30 seconds or more depending on how the file is packed and what the file does. On a tested sample set of 19,000 infected malware files, SandBox Analyzer processed the files at an average of 13 seconds each. If clean files are included, processing time is much faster.
