I should add. I tested with the new throttle code in the daemon & the ioprio added too and changed the value of the throttle in my tracker.cfg. By default it is 0. This means NO throttling occurs. On my machine this is ok unless I am doing something else which needs a lot of power. I tried running with the throttle at 20 (maximum) and instead of finding all my files in about 10-15 seconds and using 50-100% CPU, it used < 15% the whole time and these are the results: Tracker-Message: Total time taken : 348.7701 seconds Tracker-Message: Total directories: 7100 (4917 ignored) Tracker-Message: Total files : 158866 (23950 ignored) Tracker-Message: Total monitors : 7100 The indexer also makes use of the throttle. Instead of saying it would be done in 3hrs, it guessed at 21hrs. But you wouldn't even know it was running. Using the throttle is certainly the way to go here I think. Jamie do you think setting the throttle to 5 or some value just above 0 is a good idea? We use 5 for laptops running on battery at the moment of course. It might make sense to push that to 10 and use 5 by default. People are definitely going to notice their machine's usability dropping before they notice the time it takes to index all content being too slow.
