iCal and Spotlight

iCal and Snapshot seem to have this love-hate relationship. Periodically, when my wife would add a new item to a calendar on her little 600MHz G3, 384Mb of RAM iBook, it would start paging badly. So badly the GUI would become unresponsive for twenty minutes or so. I finally had to add her ~/Library/Calendar directory to the list of "private" folders that Snapshot will not index, and that seems to have solved the problem for the moment.

New mail, no problem for Spotlight on her box. New calendar item ... well that's a horse of a different color!
