Thanks Jack. I am unfamiliar with the Vista index mechanism, but from what I understand “good compared to Vista” isn’t saying much!

Dotan: I can tell you on my Vaio laptop (core 2 duo with 2 gig ram) I didn’t even notice it indexing files. During the indexing I was in GNOME running firefox, gnome-terminal, and The GIMP. I think I can say, with 100% assurance, that Beagle does a better job with performance than the Vista indexing because that same laptop dual boots and when Vista search is indexing I do notice a performance hit.

Is the Beagle daemon very resource heavy?
