Comment 2 for bug 125486

I came across this bug post while trying to find out what exactly the User Folders Update service does. As it still has No Description after installing Gutsy from the release version from, 10/18/07, I am still wondering what it does.

I have been trying to figure out why my Core 2 Duo CPU freezes up while in normal operation. I thought about how the Beagle service took a lesser amount of CPU after disabling it when I installed Feisty some time ago and have done nearly the same with the Tracker service in Gutsy. If the User Folders Update service performs indexing with the intensity that Beagle and/or the Tracker services do I would like to disable it. However, if the User Folders Update service is required for Fast User Switching then I will leave it alone. At this point I am just trying to whittle away at what could be the culprit.

Any ideas would be appreciated even if it is to explain what the User Folders Update service does.

Thank you,

Jimmy
