I can't recall where I first read that, but at the time I didn't know too
much about kqueue and simply accepted it as read. Googling for "spotlight
kqueue" wasn't very enlightening - lots of people saying it uses it, and
lots of people saying it doesn't.
Now that you mention it though, it does seem wrong; to use kqueue,
Spotlight
would have had to register interest in every last file and directory,
which
I can't imagine that it does.
