YES! Setting it to "shared" - I also deleted the .zim structure and re-indexed - makes things much snappier - I still see the python processes hitting the CPU quite a bit, not quite pegging but close, but the UI gives me the new pages when navigating, creating links etc in a second or two.
Only tested for a few minutes so far, but so far so good. . . BTW just out of curiosity, where are the indexes now?
