Thanks for doing this! For what it's worth, I've been running plocate locally since it was brought up to the list earlier this year(?), and while it's much faster I have one small complain: the indexing phase is way too power-hungry. This is not actually a complain about power draw (there's the onACpower conditional as rightfully pointed out), but about kicking in the fans a few times a week (because of the randomized delay, it happens when I'm at desk regularily) when I'm at desk. I see now that it has IOSchedulingClass=IDLE but nothing equivalent about CPU, but I don't think that'll help: if the computer is mostly idle it'll still use all the cores (and increase cpufreq automatically) for long enough to heat up and make the fans kick in. I don't think there is a laptop friendly scheduler that says if this task is niced then keep the cpufreq at its minimum, is there? I've been manually fiddling with my cpufreqs' scaling_max_freq just low enough to not trigger the fans but it sounds like overengineering to me... (feel free to ignore me, I'm overall very happy about this change) -- Dominique _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
