I just found out about the queue choice in CSV Imports settings. If there are multiple queues available, do we have to distribute the load on them manually? That doesn't feel right.

Queues are the same as threads?

Sort of, but also not really. Threads are the actual processors that run the csv import. Queues are just different "lanes" lining up for those processors. I believe you can have a situation where you have more queues than threads. E.g. if you have 5 queues but 2 threads, you could queue up 5 different imports at once but only 2 of them will run concurrently. Regardless, multi-thread is the option you're looking for, it'll use all available processors/threads to distribute your import across them and run with maximum speed available to your account.

So the same threads are used for all queues? Not that every queue has its own threads and if you focused on only one queue you lose all the computation power of the other queues?

yes you have to distribute manually, afaik

This is weird.

I didn't learn a lot of this stuff until about 2 years ago, and I've been working with NetSuite since 2011, so don't feel too bad 😆

If you feel like an idiot it makes you one of the good people. There are plenty of frauds that know squat about the product and play themselves off as experts which ruins customer experiences.
