  Description     : mlocate is a new locate implementation

from the website:
mlocate is a new locate implementation. The ‘m’ stands for “merging”: updatedb 
reuses the 
existing database to avoid rereading most of the file system, which makes 
updatedb faster 
and does not trash the system caches as much.

The locate(1) utility is intended to be completely compatible to slocate. It 
also attempts 
to be compatible to GNU locate, when it does not conflict with slocate 
compatibility.



there already exists an unofficial debian package:
