From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.18 i686) Description of problem: After the install of RH 7.2 is completed, & I am doing a quick check-out of the system to make sure all items are installed & properly working, I noticed that the system response was sluggish. Running ``uptime" showed a processor load above 2.5! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RH 7.2 on an older computer. 2. Run top. 3. Note that on older processors that the load will peak above 2.5 Additional info: Investigation showed that anacron apparently starts slocate within the first 30 minutes after power up. The first time slocate builds the database, the cpu gets a work out -- especially on older, slower machines. This should be documented in order to minimize the surprise on users with slower machines -- who may also decide to disable slocate until after user customization is complete.
This is a distibution related issue, reassigning.
Closing bugs on older, no longer supported, releases. At this point, I don't think this behavior will be changed. Honestly, I'm unsure where a good place to document this would be; it's not really a release note issue; it's more of a general documentation issue.
