hello, i have designed a desktop search utility in python and a file system monitoring using readdirectorychangesw from win32api but for eg. it has a high cpu utilization (using a 2GHz processor). a solution ntfs change journal proposed here works only for ntfs partitions is there another low (processor) cost alternative that works on fat32 partitions as well.
