After each computer restart tracker indexes all data anew

[Detlef Lechner]

Binary package hint: tracker

After each computer restart tracker indexes all data anew. This takes on my computer of the Centrino class 2 hours and about 80% of the CPU time. This is not necessary because most data have not changed since the last computer restart. For two hours the CPU is less available for application programs.
tracker is badly programmed. I expect a programming of the tracker program that recognizes the indexes which existed during the last computer session and thus after a computer restart only looks for any differences due to new files that changed in the mean time.

I can confirm this behaviour on 10.10 with tracker 0.8.17. Although it doesn't take as long with my machine, it's still annoying and probably unnecessary.
The second paragraph of you bug report is pretty unnecessary, though, please restrict your language to constructive criticism.

Quite probably related bugs (but I don't want to set as upstream yet):
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618604 - re-checking looks in the UI like re-indexing
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635847 - Tracker-store slows down the system after start

ah, what the heck, assigning upstream bug, anyone more knowledgeable feel free to change it.
