I use locate to search across millions of files (SVN repository with many checked-out branches); it's slower but since it's asynchronous I don't mind. It would be nice if Emacs had a way to automatically persist hashtables, wouldn't it? Maybe tying them to SQLite or something like that... I've proposed it on emacs-devel before but so far there's been little interest; after Emacs 23 is out I'll probably push it again. Ted
