10.4: Improve Spotlight's search speed
Authored by: Synchro on May 11, '05 05:57:11AM

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.

I'm not wildly impressed with spotlight in mail - it doesn't seem any faster than the old method.
