I think there are some beagle bugs, possibly triggered by certain file
types or file system layout, that cause beagle to spin out of control. 
I have two boxes running 10.3.  One of them runs beagle all the time,
and I don't notice it.  If I did notice it, I would certainly disable it
because this laptop is my main system and I don't really even use beagle
that much.  On the other box running 10.3, whenever I reboot I'm quickly
reminded to go shut down beagle because the fans on that box will crank
up and make lots of noise as beagle is stuck at 99% CPU usage (even if
left running overnight).
