Any cataloguing and un-cataloguing of an object is expensive, c'mon you are changing all the indices, vocabulary and so on.
Yup...
You never notice it normally for 1 - 10 things, but run an import script of 10000 and catalog each object as it gets added (rather than all of them at the end) and you'll notice the difference. (This script was cataloguing 250,000 mail messages, one at a time. Big no-no)
Hmmm... I see your point now, and I think it's along the lines of "indexing 250,000 objects is slow, it's just when you take the performance hit". Correct? If so, then I don't really understand:
Hear, hear. The cost of the incremental cataloguing is horrific.
How does this cost differ from non-incremenetal cataloguig? Erm... actually... what is non-incremental cataloguing and how do you do it? cheers, Chris
