how big is the collection youre working with.

and what is the index-rescan time?

i cant help but think the real solution is something like BeFS..

its too bad we're still stuck in 1970 on that tip..though i should check Haiku and Reiser4 to see if either of them are close to being usable

last i tried the POSIX extended attrs stuff on reiser it didnt work. and the querying is virtually nonexistent..
