So I put that where to have it in effect for my 45 minute runs of updatedb? The point is you removed the feature of even allowing the user to choose their default. You chose for EVERYONE... If you had chosen to only set it to 1 if the ENV var wasn't set, then I might not like it because it is not well documented, but there would be a ready workaround. But you chose not to limit sort to using 1/4-1/12 of a machine's capacity, but chose to remove user's ability to configure the default. The default was configurable. you removed the ability to configure it. That's what's annoying...removing choice is always a bad thing... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
