^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I have also observed that searching using the libbeagle-C bindings
(and pybeagle also, I think) is faster than using C#-ui tools. Even
otherwise, Best is a a super slow beast.
Hopefully, Holmes will be included in the next release of Beagle.

PS: One of the places where C#-search api might be slower that
libbeagle is XML serialization. Creating an XML serializer is costly
and serializing/deserialing is slow in C#. Apparently the tools  like
genxs.exe and sgen.exe
http://www.mono-project.com/XML#genxs.exe
 are helpful in these scenarios. If anybody has experience using them
or knows how useful are they, please let me know.
