The built-in fast global find in PalmOS has been really amazingly useful
to me, and I'm really looking forward to having that on my desktop.
Though I think they should have implemented it at the vnode level instead
of in HFS+. Looking at the Darwin code it looks like the vnode level
already tracks all the VOPs that Spotlight should need to notify the
daemon about a file or directory change, without causing noticable
performance impact. They should be able to borrow the kqueue mechanism
from FreeBSD to handle the notifications.
I wholeheartedly agree! (I wonder what in the world is he talking about?) :-)
