Kora has a dedicated off-thread compute layer that prevents UI slowdown and enables "big library / big workspace" scaling.
What it enables
- seeded walkdir scans with progress + cancel
- computing derived structures without blocking UI
- future-proofing: more heavy work can be moved off-thread (exports, detection scans, etc.)
Why this matters
This is one of the core differences between:
- "a web app that slows down"
- vs "a desktop OS that stays snappy as your catalog grows"
What are Quick Answers?
Q: Why does Kora stay fast as my catalog grows?
A: Kora uses off-thread engines to prevent UI slowdown and maintain desktop-grade performance.
