[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 882045, member: 56379"] Cheetah, Thanks again for your reply & info. Since you have a MacBook...your CPU & graphics hardware should be plenty for running Spotlight. As has already been mentioned, a faster hard drive will help as well. The MacBook you have probably has a 5400rpm hard drive...a 7200 rmp drive would make things go faster...but a 7200rpm hard drive would also use more power...and thus your battery life would be negatively effected. - Nick Edit: Sounds like your hard drive is about 66% full. I've heard folks say that after the hard drive gets 50% full...you start to see performance decreases. [/QUOTE]
