Google Desktop Performance

Hi,

As a gamer with a pretty old system I'm a bit concerned about GDs performance. I love the search system, it's probably even better than Vista's imho, but I have noticed some speed issues with GD running. First off there was a massive difference in speed when I transferred my huge 'My Music' folder to an external HD, disabling indexing sped this up hugely. Also I have noticed Firefox running a little slower since I installed GD, switching tabs and windows can be painfully slow now which really wasn't an issue before. Lastly I think my games are running a bit slower than they were, does GD keep indexing while apps like this are running?

My system is an AMD Athlon 3000+, 2GB RAM, Radeon X1950 Pro, Win XP which I thought would have been plenty. Are these issues common or have I just got too much crap installed? Do gadgets make a difference?

Hi, I've also installed GD here and been running some big applications but encountered not much difference on system speed. Try to remove GD first then observe your PC with and without GD. Good luck.
