I think we're getting out of topic about Lucene usage for SSDs but I fully acknowledge that below mail: SSDs are faster than normal disk for development. Actually, one of the things that got real faster with the SSD is IntelliJ indexing and reboot; I could not tell if it is using Lucene sadly.
It's been so much a difference that I prefer my old laptop than my newer one (2 y differences, both macbooks). paul Le 23 août 2011 à 11:04, Toke Eskildsen a écrit : > On Tue, 2011-08-23 at 10:23 +0200, Dawid Weiss wrote: >> This one is humorous (watch for foul language though).
