I'm happy with the daily runs. It's not so important on my firewall, but it counts on my two development and test machines where file come, go, and move quite regularly. FWIW, on my P133 (with 4GB drive) the combination of slocate, msec, and tripwire does take a while, but the machine has sufficient available CPU cycles that running all three _every_ day is fine.
