Martin, Im happy to add a performance option to do fast index merges instead of incremental ones (which currently uses intermittent fsync calls to stop pdflush hogging the disk but can cause thrashing)
the problem is that ext3 performance when doing lots of alternating read/writes is horrifically abysmal (probably buggy rather than design fault) so for best results we recommend mounting ~/.cache as reiser or some other fs other than ext2/3 -- 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
