Re: [Tracker] more issues with indexer-split

[Jamie McCracken <jamie mccrack googlemail com>]

Finding more performance issues

on an up to date indexed home directory, the next restart of trackerd
checks every single file to see if its up to date - why?

trunk only checks directories (If a file in a directory is modified then
the directories mtime is also altered so no need to check every file)
hence startup is much faster.

This needs to be restored as the performance of indexer-split is
horrendous at startup

ps same with summary files - only need to check if mtime is differs in
tracker's database
