Artifactory supports different backend storage configurations to store the Artifactory filestore.
For scenarios where the configured storage is not local, a performance benefit can be using a large Cache-FS provider mounted locally for each node.
Cached files will be served quickly, and therefore having a large Cache FS provider will be a performance gain.
Some filestore providers allow tuning and modifications of parameters. For instance:
Eventual: "numberOfThreads".
Eventual-Cluster: "maxWorkers".
Remote: "maxConnections".
