If You are on KDE4/5 and You have Baloo running, turn it off temporally (balooctl stop; kilall -SIGTERM baloo_file; killall -SIGTERM baloo_file_extractor) or forever (balooctl disable). Or suffer and let it run overnight until the indexing is done. It can cause huge I/O and cause other applications to hang terribly. When files are indexed, it is not that terrible.
This is nonsense. Baloo hasn't acted that way in a couple years. It is "nice"-ed very well, it only indexes your home directory, and eve a large home directory will index without any inconvenience to the user. Don't paint Baloo with Nepomuk's paintbrush. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done.
