So, Morten said I could forward this. I think it's a highly useful data-point for hacker adoption. I imagine indexing .c files is a waste of time with beagle, it's for documents - and worse huge, deep source code directory hierarchies - just loading all those dentries & inodes blows your cache and makes ~everything else apparently 'slow'. Until we get a better underlying fs this will always be a problem I think [ btrfs ]. eg. my $ time ls -Rl ~/kde/sources - took: real 2m11.770s user 0m0.928s sys 0m3.824s I guess we need a feature to prune all sub-directories of things that look like top-level source-code / project directories. Should prolly get that into FATE. HTH, Michael. -- michael.meeks@novell.com <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot
