I found SearchDaimon sometimes gets slower when crawling files within some NTFS folders (SMB paths).
The crawling log tells:
...

...
These files are subsequently skipped and not been indexed.
After making some tests I realized it occurs when a folder (crawled files are inheriting security permissions from folder) has more than 15 security permissions defined. I can suppose it could be a SearchDaimon DB limit with the attributes tables. Am I correct? Is there any way to overcome this limit? or does it depend on something else?
Thanks a lot for your great work.
