Windows Search? (Score 1)

Like many have stated, the calculation of the time it will take to copy/move a files and folders is extremely long and should be looked into. When the calculation has completed (or seems to), the data transfer time is somewhat the same as in XP, except in certain circomstances: - When the "Windows Search" service is running, the data transfer rate seems to suffer greatly (damn you "SearchFilterHost"!). If I'm using iTunes (with a 80 GB library), a virtual machine (Virtual PC, Virtual Server, VMware Workstation or VMware Server) or browsing a folder binded to a Subversion database (TortoiseSVN) when data indexing begins, the search service constantly jumps to 35% usage and I am forced to kill it entirely due to horrible system lag. I've since disabled the service. Also, based on the actual time to transfer a file via the network or directly on the hard drive, it is clear that the data transfer rate displayed is far from being acurate. I'm currently using a Toshiba Satellite A100 VA9 (Intel Core 2 Duo T5500, 2GB DDR2-533, 200GB 4200RPM HDD, nVidia Geforce Go 7600 /w dedicated 128MB) with Vista Ultimate Edition.
