As always, it depends. Doing a hefty build can make half a million files on my machine - even minor additional file-creation latency can add up VERY quickly in that scenario. And frankly I do far more builds per day than I do `find`, though the build system likely does a fair number of shallow ones.
In user-visible-oriented folders though, oh heck yes it should all be indexed.
- rakoo 5y agoI have to use Windows for work and I never see Everything take any CPU ever, even when I have to compile (maybe not a million files though). It's all asynchronous so builds aren't slowed down, indexing happens in the background but never takes long and when you need it it's all there because as you said you don't need to search for files every second. So, in practice, it works.
