the solution there is for backup software to turn indexing off on the target volume.

also, the specific example (how it gets metadata) is rather contrived.  your application (and this is in the docs) should try and partition metadata so that it can be read fast without having to load the entire file.

Since the indexing occurs at any time a file is created or copied or

duplicated, I think about what could happen during a backup.

If spotlight creates an index at any file-copy and the importer reads the

whole file with dictionaryWithContentsOfFile, in case of large files this

should slow down the backup time dramatically...
