Site Definition synchronization for large local project directories

Local-to-Remote Synchronization

Adobe Dreamweaver uses Site Definitions to map local project folders to remote server directories. When managing large datasets of assets or extensive page hierarchies, the synchronization process must identify modified files to perform 'Put' operations efficiently.

There is uncertainty regarding the performance impact and timeout behavior when the local site folder contains thousands of nested directories or files. Specifically, the software must compare local timestamps against remote server metadata to determine synchronization status.

What are the configuration limits for the number of files a single Site Definition can track before synchronization latency becomes prohibitive? Are there specific settings to bound the directory depth during the synchronization scan to prevent IDE freezes?
