feat(glyph): tune transmission settings for RPC performance#325
Conversation
With 2000+ torrents loaded, Transmission's RPC takes 9-17 seconds to respond. Increase disk write cache from default 4MB to 256MB and enable download queue to reduce I/O contention blocking the RPC thread. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

These changes don't fix the issue but are probably sensible to have anyways |

@stackptr That's my main question. How was this area of performance degraded so much between 4.0.6 and 4.1? 4.0.6 still works great. What did 4.1 introduce in this area that caused such I/O contention blocking? |

Summary
Context
Transmission 4.1.1 has a confirmed performance regression with large torrent counts. The root cause is synchronous disk I/O blocking the RPC thread (#2462, targeted for 5.0). These settings reduce I/O pressure as a mitigation. If insufficient, next step is pinning to transmission 4.0.6.
