Yes, and typically the things I want to find with locate are older
anyway, since I've forgotten where they are.
I need an "i'm-going-away-from-my-computer-so-do-annoying-things"
script, or some kind of scheduler based on cpu usage.

When you have 100's of gigs of harddrive filled with stuff locate is way more speedy
than find. (if its up to date) slocate is always among the first packages i
remove after installing a
system. Have no use for it, and it is very annoying.
(S)locate is extremely handy. Let's you search your entire system in
notime. Maybe you should just disable the cronjob that is set up by the
installer.
