Am I reading this right, that every 7 days all Chandler users will have
to confirm a dialog (or reject and get that dialog the next day)?
Yes, this is a 'courtesy'. The alternative is have chandler block the UI once
a week for doing a compact for a few minutes to a bit more (on Esther's
repository of 6500 versions, it ran in 3.5 hours).
In other words, if your repository got so big as to cause a lot of disk access
when iterated to be compacted, your CPU usage goes down to 10% (or less) and
your HDD usage goes to 100%. On a laptop, this can be v e r y s l o w.
I certainly understand how the functionality of compaction will be a
benefit to end-users. Just not too psyched at the UI aspects. Has all
the charm of a recurring Windows systray security popup.
