SyncToy 2.1 is not only very slow, but it trashes things if interrupted in the middle

Unanswered SyncToy 2.1 is not only very slow, but it trashes things if interrupted in the middle

    Here's my situation:  I want to use SyncToy to sync a folder between two machines with about 100GB in 100,000 files.  Most of the time, there are very few changes to be found.

    It takes SyncToy well over a day to complete its preview the first time I run it.  After that, it's usually acceptably fast--maybe 10-15 minutes if there are only a handful of changes.

    However--and this is a big however--if during those 10-15 minutes I stop the synchronization for any reason, then the next time I start it up, the results are just plain wrong.  So I have to blow away the folder pairs and start again from scratch, again taking an entire day to set up the databases.

    Is there a better way to solve this problem?  Is there a SyncToy 2.2 in the works that might avoid these performance problems?
