cd to various directories, then type vdir|wc -l in each. This tells you how
many files the directory has. The more files, the longer it takes to sort them.
vdir -U lists the directory without sorting it, which is a little faster.
mprime just writes once every 30 minutes, so whether it's running in the
Windows drive or the Linux drive is inconsequential. As to the swapping, the
swap daemon runs at 12 naughty, so I don't see why mprime at 20 nice would
bother it at all.
