Exactly. The thing about what this developer noticed is that it is the |
| 8 |
READING THE FILES that kills the system performance. The indexing is |
| 9 |
just random noise. |

So once this fix gets into the system it won't matter that it's indexing |
| 12 |
- the indexing will stall waiting for the files to be read, and reading |
| 13 |
the files won't kill the system. |

What seems to be happening at the moment is that as plasma reads the |
| 16 |
files, linux is paging plasma out to make way for the files, then it has |
| 17 |
to drop old cache to page plasma back in, and it's just got stuck in |
| 18 |
treacle trying to "in out in out shake it all about" :-) |
