It hasnt been slow for several years.


Mine was exceedingly slow when I had >2,000,000 files (gigabytes of versioned source code will do that). Several seconds to pull up an application by name. 10-30 seconds to pull up an infrequently-accessed document by filename. > 1 minute to pull up a PDF by content.

All of which caused a few seconds delay between every result-set returned, during which it was entirely unresponsive. It still worked faster - pressing `enter` would grab the top result when it came up - but that's unacceptably slow.


I beg to differ. It's sluggish. Depends what you are used to I guess.

I don't find it even a decent calculator, try doing a division!! It launches the calculator and doesn't even both to pre-fill the question.


It does division fine. Pre-filling would definitely be handy though.
