Then I disagree with your claim about «very significant overhead».  Even
on spinning rust, mlocate is pretty quick since it does a good bunch of
optimisations to avoid re-indexing unchanged directories.  Maybe your
perception has been marred by slocate and the original locate, which at
least used not to have such optimisations?
