It could also be data access time. Not sure what software they're using, but while you're doing your search you're probably tying up web threads, worker threads in a JVM (assuming java-based application server), database connections and cycles on the database machine. By limiting that to 90-day

Do you have a small, otherwise unused HD you could install just as your boot device? If not, I'm sure someone around here has an old 850MB or such sitting in their surplus. Put your boot stuff on that and then let the distro of choice recognize the big drive for fileserving. Alternatively, you co
