I never did here, and that was back on slow Yes, I think so. I'll use `find` if I know exactly where I want to search or my search key requires it, and `locate` for most other cases (or when the search location is a very large tree with lots of branches requiring elevated permissions; locate will skip those silently). I *notice* the locate db update, but I didn't say it *bothers* me. Most of the time it's completes before I finish sifting through and replying to my morning email.
