Up until now Findcan has been served from traditional spin hard drives (on 5 five mac mini's). In an attempt to speed up search results, we've moved the search index onto solid state drive (SSDs). This should improve query times to at most about a second for non-cached queries (cache queries typically take around hundredth to a 1/10 of a second).
