### Slowing down the reindexing rate for fast changing files

When using the real time monitor, it may happen that some files need to be indexed, but change so often that they impose an excessive load for the system.

Recoll provides a configuration option to specify the minimum time before which a file, specified by a wildcard pattern, cannot be reindexed. See the `mondelaypatterns` parameter in the configuration section.
