67 wallclock secs (37.19 usr + 0.23 sys = 37.42 CPU) - 1000 79 wallclock secs (38.73 usr + 0.33 sys = 39.06 CPU) - 2000 65 wallclock secs (36.16 usr + 0.27 sys = 36.42 CPU) - 3000 76 wallclock secs (38.42 usr + 0.27 sys = 38.69 CPU) - 4000 79 wallclock secs (38.78 usr + 0.33 sys = 39.11 CPU) - 5000
The ‘wallclock sec’ messages are normal.
You will see this line appear after every 1000 records processed (about every minute). This line is simply an indicator of ongoing processing.
When you have a sync with thousands of records, and that sync has little to do (no Adds/Mods need to occur on this sync run) then all you will see is the Wallclock messages. This is normal processing output, just letting you know that processing is ongoing, even though there are no other actions to report (i.e. Adds/Mods/Moves).
In previous version, there was no ‘wallclock’ message output… large syncs with little to do would appear to ‘hang’ as the sync window paused during processing while the sync processed thousands of records without anything to do… these wallclock messages were inserted to indicate ongoing activity so users would know the sync isn’t hung.
