Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: recoll
I have a lot of files, and recoll slows the system to a crawl when
indexing. Opening up a terminal takes 8 seconds. Getting the "file"
menu on a web browser requires you to hold the button down for 4
seconds. Basically, it's hammeringmy disk. CPU usage is not high, but
the I/O is. This is a reasonably capable system: a 2-core CoreDuo, 4
gig of memory, a 7200 RPM disk. It ought not be slow.
Recoll should make use of ionice to reduce the I/O probability. And,
if that's not enough, it ought to sleep in between operations that use
the disk. It should be really really easy to make it a good citizen
instead of a resource hog.
Basically, if it continues to annoy me while indexing, off it goes into
the bit bucket.
