Description

I have SyncTrayzor set to automatically start with Windows and when I login I have plenty of other programs vying for CPU and IO. When Syncthing is started and does an automatic check whether to use weak hashing or not, it always fails as the system is busy. When started during times of less intensive resource usage, Syncthing always opts to use weak hashing.

If SyncTrayzor could have an option to delay the launch of Syncthing this would help alleviate the problem. I suspect that for other people with a lot of data for Syncthing to scan, it would help improve their login times, too.
