### Exclude checkout from Spotlight indexing
|
||||
|
||||
Chromium's checkout contains a lot of files, and building generates many more.
|
||||
Spotlight will try to index all of those files, and uses a lot of CPU time
|
||||
doing so, especially during a build, which can slow things down.
|
||||
|
||||
To prevent the Chromium checkout from being indexed by Spotlight, open System
|
||||
Preferences, go to "Spotlight" -> "Privacy" and add your Chromium checkout
|
||||
directory to the list of excluded locations.
