And by value I mean bucks.

Smarter: Write a simple console app that generates a custom transfer queue to run in FileZilla (also getting auto retry, parallelization, file comparison, auth negotiation, etc.)

We had an old index but it was missing a field and cover so I added it.
Total duration went from 1hr execution time per hour (at 50-75k executions) to under 15s per hour (at 1.25mil executions).
