I'm trying to get a handle on searching in vista. My system is a relatively
decent performer (Core 2 Duo E6300, 2 GB ram, hardware raid, ...)
Here are some numbers.
Desktop Search for "control":
about 3-5 seconds an obvious things like control panel show up
about 10-15 seconds and everything has shown up (emails, etc)
Open "Windows Mail":
non-responsive for approximately 30-60 seconds when opened. I have no idea
what it's doing during this time period.
Searching my inbox:
my inbox has ~ 1500 message
Search 'From' for a nonexistent string: 30-60 seconds
Search 'Message' for a nonexistent string: 5 minutes
Winmail.exe and Svchost.exe are hogging CPU when searching, causing
sluggish performance on all processes.
Replying to an email message:
5-30 seconds from clicking 'reply' to opening of reply dialog.
svchost.exe and winmail.exe are again bogging down the pc.
The indexer settings page claims ~ 180,000 items are in the indexing
database. Most of these I suspect are deleted emails.
Are other people getting similar performance? I certainly hope there's
something wrong with my installation and Vista doesn't really perform this
bad in the average case. This performance is horrible.
