This bug entry shows the considerable pain that trackerd has been causing for Ubuntu users: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tracker/+bug/131983 A Google search shows thousands of cries of anguish regarding this search indexer. It seems that Windows and Mac have decided that the core focus of the OS should be to allow users to perform "Google" like searches of their files. This causes lots of performance problems during normal system use. Perhaps I am weird but I use a heirarchical filesystem layout and intelligent naming to help me keep track of things and rarely need to consult some sort of search "oracle" as if I had been struck by a stroke or advanced senility. This indexer tool should definitely default to "off" for Solaris.
