I know on my system when my hourly rsync backup runs, it can take a couple of seconds for things that are normally instantaneous. Beyond that, I am not sure. Does this happen all the time or only at certain times? Is your machine on all the time or not. I know that the locate database is updated sometime during the night. However, if your machine is not on at night, it may run at bootup, which would reduce the amount of I/O badnwidth available to other applications. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
