Hi, After a clean install it's nice if your system feels quick and responsive. That's why forcing slocate on every new user maybe wasn't such a good idea. But this isn't about slocate, it's about a couple of other processes that made my 020217 install crawl.
I logged in for the first time, started to explore the system. The hard drive started to go crazy and the speed reminded me of 1992. I fired up 'top' and saw that awk was consuming 10-15% CPU while the hard drive was thrashing. After a few minutes awk was done and rpmv appeared, consuming 30-90% CPU, while the hard drive continued to read and read. This went on for several minutes. Maybe this is normal, but could it be avoided somehow, to make the first time experience feel a little more snappy? Regards, Mattias
