Hey Martin, It's just an inotify monitor. Read how that works, you will see what's the performance (close to zero, and everyone uses them, not just tracker).
Don't take it bad please, but I wouldn't like to spam this bug report more, we should settle down on basic knowledge about how the kernel inotify and file system works and its implications and impact on performance. Hmm I think there is nothing more new to discuss in this bug report so far, looking forward to more questions/feedback. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1666676 Title: Enable tracker by default for Unity too To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1666676/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
