Disabling spotlight


My MacBook has been getting more and more sluggish. One of the things that has been cropping up is a large amount of time spent by spotlight, seemingly indexing content - in top the mds process has been taking too long. Just so I remember in the comments of this article is how to turn Spotlight off, don’t follow the process in the article.

Let’s see if that and the 2 gig of RAM on it’s way help.
