That benchmark was released about a week before the latest tracker release, which was supposed to massively improve the speed of tracker. According to the tracker website, the indexing is _much_ faster now, and they claim to be able to index 100 files per second on ext3 (according to them, basically the maximum possible speed taking I/O time into account). This is more than twice as fast as Strigi in the benchmark you posted, although it goes without saying that the tests would need to be run on the same machine to really be comparable.

Still, does tracker have the deep indexing feature?
Anyway, numbers would be good. Maybe I can try to provide some, or LWN.net
will figure something out ;-)
