10.4: Improve Spotlight's search speed
How amusing! I've done the same thing, but in the OPPOSITE direction! mds is a nightmare. It seems to want to balloon up to using 65MB of memory sometimes, and I have to killall -HUP mds, which knocks it back down to single digit land for a while. Then I give up and renice it up ;-) Still, I now want to find a way to disable this nonsense since I'm sick of mds, mdimport, and friends taking up my CPU time and memory space. Tiger is so memory hungry it's nuts.

Not to mention I/O.. when mds kicks up, it will slow your hard drive reading/writing to a halt as it churns its way through your files..

I've been using Tiger for just over a week now and mds still usually ends up at 64MB or so each day. If I HUP it, it sits at 5MB for a while, then climbs back up.

Since Spotlight doesn't even look at all the data files created/modified during a compile/build, it shouldn't being doing much. It will probably only scan the newly built app if that's what you're building.

Yeah, TIger is pretty memory hungry. The trick is to close all dashboard widgets and never open the bloody thing. Saves you about 60 megs.

This is causing me trouble too. I'm on a dual G4/867 with 1.25Gb RAM, and the mdimport process is consuming 65Mb AND 65% of CPU all the time. It's been running for 7 days solid now and is credited with 124 hours of CPU usage - surely enough to index ~300Gb of files - I'm not introducing large numbers of files to my system. I just HUPd it and it dropped off the radar, but mds has now climbed to 75Mb and 75% CPU. |
