Ok, have to say sorry here. Mixed mlocate up with rlocate :-/
Here are my experiences:
old slocate
[root at workstation64 andyrtr]# time updatedb
real 1m7.929s
user 0m1.683s
sys 0m2.566s
[root at workstation64 andyrtr]# time updatedb
real 1m19.958s
user 0m1.690s
sys 0m2.696s
new mlocate:
[root at workstation64 andyrtr]# time updatedb
real 10m33.805s
user 0m1.463s
sys 0m33.304s
[root at workstation64 andyrtr]# time updatedb
real 0m21.013s
user 0m0.617s
sys 0m1.333s
[root at workstation64 andyrtr]# time updatedb
real 0m1.183s
user 0m0.463s
sys 0m0.417s
[root at workstation64 andyrtr]# time updatedb
real 0m0.868s
user 0m0.413s
sys 0m0.443s
That'really faster after the first updatedb call! So I'm fine with it.
