You’re right — SQL Compare doesn’t actually support true pre-filtering before the comparison starts, since it needs to load metadata for all objects first. Using filter files (.scpf) or the Filter Setup can still help reduce the visible results, but not the initial processing time. For large environments like yours (multiple servers), running comparisons via CLI in parallel and saving project configurations is usually the most efficient approach. Small workflow optimizations and taking short breaks in between long comparison tasks can also help maintain focus — I sometimes use simple browser-based tools like https://szgames.site/ during breaks to keep things balanced. / comments
