Comment 26 for bug 131983

would it be possible for it to have some form of "cooldown" period on file system changes. IE if something unzips a whole bunch of files leave them there for 10 minutes before scanning. I just installed google earth with the shiny new package and my disk went nuts for 10 minutes. The computer still seemed responsive however and you average user probably wouldn't notice thrashing, it also pulled about 90% cpu in this time. have a 15krpm scsi and a quad core though so my experience with responsiveness probably isn't representative.
