Re: [Tracker] About "Linux Kernel file notification" support

[Filippo Pappalardo <filippo email it>]

I was more about avoiding the big directory scanning at startup. Right
now Tracker eats up my CPU/HD for 10sec or more at each startup. And
this just to verify everything is in the same place where it was last
time Tracker was shut down.

Like Jamie previously said, other OSes (think OSX) don't do this, and
everybody's happy.
