> It is indeed really really slow in the current version. That is not how it should be in the stable version; then it should be quick.

And if (or should I say "When"?) it's not? Will the changes all be reverted at that time, or will the "fix" be to wait and see if it can be made faster and/or for people who have a problem stop complaining?

> Suggest to give a bit of leeway to unstable versions.

Leeway requires trust and that, I think, is something that is in short supply where GNOME is concerned.

And is "quick" going to require running a indexing service that will destroy any vestige of speed and responsiveness remaining in the system?

When indexing daemons can make an 8 core system with a SSD feel like a 486, they had better not be required because they are going to be disabled and removed pronto, unless the desktop environment is simply abandoned instead.
