So I've got a 1.67 ghz pb with 1 gig of ram and it was running very very slowly so I recently added SPOTLIGHT=-NO- to /etc/hostconfig rebooted and it seems to be running a lot faster now. Has anybody turned off spotlight had this experience? One problem is search in Mail.app isn't enabled anymore but I maybe able to live without that. Ideally I'd like be able to update my indexes nightly and turn off real time updating if this is the culprit for the slowness I was seeing.
