In principle the idea is that findutils-4.5.0 will move to a C binary for updatedb, or at least for parts of its work. So I'm not sure what the optimum balance between flexibility on the one hand and performance and robustness on the other would be. However, did you try using the --findoptions argument to updatedb? Or was that unsuitable? James.
