Delving deeper into this, I'm even more amazed by your app.
I managed to get somewhat close to Everything's speed in some areas, C volume with ~2 million records:
- around 2 seconds to read + parse MFT (~2GB across 9 clusters)
- 1.3 seconds to alpha sort
- 5.6 seconds to index for search (here's where I'm trying to optimize now)
- Instant search: <30ms under 3 characters (single word), <0ms past that
However..
Everything: 241 MB ram
Mine: 1GB![:lol:]( "Laughing")
I've been trying a trigram approach but it's really costly in memory, I will explore other options.
Not a ~competition vs Everything, just a passion for coding and optimization.
