More on spotlight
I just deleted my spotlight metadata catalogue and re-indexed. I was expecting a small difference but was pretty impressed to see it reduced from 329MB to 174MB. Took 3 hours for the re-indexing but worth it for my meagre HDD.
The tool I used to delete the database was called Tinkertool. It is shareware and has a host of optimisation and performance tools. five evaulations are allowed for free before you have to pay seven euros.

Do you really think it was worth 3 hours to save a few hundred MB? Surely you would have saved more by simply restarting your laptop!
Well it was 3 hours of a bit of extra CPU being chewed up and I badly need every MB I can get. If you have a few GB of spare HDD then it's not likely to be so worthwhile.
Seriously, sort out the positioning of your adverts!
Haha,
You are funny whinger. I tell you what I'll fix it when I submit and I may even allow the bookrater forums to return!
