ってくらいに考えておいて

[thetazuo]

「まあ、あくまでこれは妨害。今までサクサク動いてた検索エンジンがめっっっっっちゃ重くなる、ってくらいに考えておいて」

Hi. Does the に work in the same way as in 本を読むと幸せに感じる? Namely, the に marks the content of one’s thoughts?

Thank you.

If you think this "に" can be changed into ”を" or "で".

ってくらいを考えておいて →　　no problem in Japanese.
ってくらいで考えておいて　→　no problem in Japanese.
本を読むと幸せを感じる　→　no problem in Japanese.
本を読むと幸せで感じる　→　You don't use like this in Japanese.

くらいにかんがえておいて　is like similar to idiom-ish way of using Japanese.

It is very difficult to explain the subtle difference between your mentioning case.
We Japanese are using this ってくらいにかんがえておいて phrase without much consideration.

Thank you. So does ってくらいに考えておいて mean “please think it of as (what comes before ってくらい)” in English?

 

[Inouez]

ってくらいに考えておいて = please think like this range
or please think like this level.

or Prepare your imagination ( or understanding ) to this level of slow processing of search-engine.
Be ready to the slowness of the processing of search-engine to this level of slowness.
