Our system recently was crawling along, and the only process that looked like
it could have been the culprit was updatedb (a utility to index the
filesystems
for the locate command (unix's locate that is).

One suggested remedy is to change it from running daily to running weekly and
have it run on off day (I chose saturday).

Does UV use locate for anything? will running the indexing once a week vs
daily have any problems?

FYI. If your running linux, and your system is crawling, do a ps and see if
the
process "updatedb" is running. another name is slocate.

in my case I moved the file "slocate.cron" from /etc/cron.daily to
/etc/cron.weekly
and I needed to modify the /etc/crontab file to fire off /etc/cron.weekly on
Saturday instead of Sunday (check the /etc/cron.weekly first to make sure
there
isn't a job that has to run on Sunday!)
