maybe leave it index overnight, it might be fast again once it's finished. That's what I'm planning to do anyway. My .Spotlight-V100 directory is now 2.6GB and growing. But then again, with 400,000 files on my computer it's probably not surprising...
Most likely reply is that Spotlight hasn't finished indexing your hard drive. I have the same problem. My computer has been indexing for over 8H now, and the index file is 1GB . To see the size of the index file, and whether it's changing, run:
cd /
sudo ls -l .Spotlight-V100/
Does anyone...
