Does indexing slow down the main engine?
My configuration is EeePC, 1000H with a 160 HDD and 1 Gb of RAM.
I'm using beta 4.0.3 (4.0.2.9199).
The indexer icon says it has about 160 resources to go.
The main engine is very slow, even in scrolling the Bible text. I don't know why. I tried positioning both my mouse (scroll bar clicks) and cursor arrows and spacebar.
Is the main system slow because of an active indexing process?

It currently takes abouts 3 seconds to handle a move in an open text (one turn of the mouse wheel).

Perhaps the problem is more general: http://community.logos.com/forums/p/1391/11195.aspx

It slows down the entire computer so I would say yes!
I am about ready to scream!! If the final product has to reindex the entire library every time you download a new resource I say let's have a way to turn it OFF! I don't need new resource indexed at the cost of my computer for 1/2 a day every time. Let us have control and index whenever we want, i.e. when a large collection comes out or every month.

I also have an Eepc, but mine is a 900 with a 30G HDD and 1G ram.
I have found that L4 actually runs ok, better than L3 I think, on my EePC when it is not indexing.
The problem is, I couldn't get L4 installed until beta 2 (clearing spece off the 30G drive, since the books need installed to the HDD), then I have spent apx. 6 days in preparing my library and indexing (between installing and upgrading to beta 3). In total I have only had apx. 1 day to actually use L4 for study.
I have already decided that I am skipping the next beta (or 2) to actually be able to use L4 and make comments on it rather than just commenting on the slowness of the indexing. I loved what I saw with L4. I just hope the indexing issue can find a solution.

How about a nag screen at start up - something like "It appears that not all your resources are in your personal Logos 4 index. Resources not included in this index are not included in searches and reports. Would you like to re-index?"
