right, but the alternative is no support for tags at all, so xattr gets us halfway there, and filesystems that don't have it need to keep up.
searching can be sped up by building an index. apps that want to use tags will need to do that, just like they build an index of files already. because searching filenames is also slow.

a version of locatedb that supports xattr would help for example, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_search
