I'm using 0.6.3. <more ignorant questions> How does the size of the data written to this buffer relate to the size of what's being indexed? Is it written continuously to the disk? (What I'm really wondering is how it's used when indexing 6MB of source and text files. I mean, 6MB of text really ought to result in less than 6MB of "indexing data"... right? If it's split up in small parts, maybe it can be merged together?)
How much would increaring this buffer help? If it helps, perhaps one way forward would be to make the size dynamic, so when lots of data needs to be indexed, more memory means less trashing by ext3. Perhaps it's size could even depend on the filesystem being used? </more ignorant questions> -- Heavy Disk I/O harms desktop responsiveness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131094 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
