and yes, any indexing is taking power
And it is the *content indexing* that causes Beagle to become slow, consume excessive resources, and otherwise annoy the heck out of anyone used to the speed of "locate". I'm pretty sure that if you take the effort to gut Beagle of all the plug-ins except for the filesystem indexer itself, it'd run just as fast as locate. I've filed a bug or two against Beagle-related quirks and malfunctions. I'm not a big enough user of the things Beagle indexes for me to really stress the heck out of it, which may be part of the reason that Beagle's quality it not where it could be. It relies on a large set of indexible content for scale testing, and testing environment (at least mine are, at any rate) tend to be rather spare. -Greg Stacatto signals of constant information A loose affiliation of millionares, and billionares, baby These are the days of miracle and wonder -- Boy in the Bubble, Paul Simon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
