Mac OS X 10.0: Performance Slower When Sherlock Updates or Creates an Index

Symptom

With a Sherlock window open and volume indexing in progress, Mac OS X or the Classic environment may seem less responsive.


Solution

Turn off Sherlock indexing:

1. Choose Preferences from the Sherlock application menu.
2. Click the two Indexing Options checkboxes to turn them off.
3. Click OK.

Note: Indexed volumes provide an enhanced Sherlock experience. You should turn indexing back on at a later time or choose Index Now from the Find menu.
