Thanks. I actually mentioned it by name in my post.

It is handy but i uninstalled it when i realized that the default configuration file is actually commented clearly and tracker-cfg is just a wrapper for a single user config file. It is nice to have the options to rebuild database &tc right in the app, but that's also easy to do manually.

Thanks Rob1n. I hear so many complaints about tracker i just assumed it was one of the closed bits of maemo. It does seem unduly hard to set it up to behave as desired, so i'll check out the manual.

One thing you can change that will have very apparent results is increase the throttle. If it's around 10 the slowdown will be much less noticeable.
