[GNUnet-developers] speed/load problem while inserting files with gnunet-insert

[Christian]

 Hi,

I found some messages about inserting files and speed in basically.  
Now i dont really care how long it takes to index a file completely but  
i want to be able to work on my machine even when i index files bigger  
than a few hundred kB. The point is that after processing 300-500kB the  
machine hangs for a moment cause of the disk load. (its quite noisy  
also :)
Maybe its just my dumb slow laptop-ide drive but it makes it difficult  
to share lots of content for me.

It is clear to me that indexing lets say 100Mb takes its time anyway so  
why not do it relaxed in the background without stressing the system.  
Something like reading 100kB and waiting a second for diskcache and  
other applications.
I looked at the code myself to have a quick fix for myself but i am not  
exactly clear where i could start. It looks like those nodes call  
themselfs recursively to get inserted, right?
So should i go for it myself or is it a 20min fix for someone or...?
Or is that a stupid idea anyway?
