The latest Mozilla Thunderbird uses SQLite databases for just about
everything and constantly I see the statusbar saying "re-indexing
XXX". As mentioned earlier, even for managing something as trivial as
bookmarks. Luckily my Quad Core just powers through all that
re-indexing that now occurs, so I don't notice it that much.

Your last statement is 100% correct though. Unfortunately not
everybody seems capable of making the right choice. :)
