It is perfectly normal that an indexing tool is especially active when building an initial index. Whoever doesn't have the patience to wait Beagle should be an OPTION not a preset thing .
I would think very few people using Opensuse on the desktop either at work or at home do not need Beagle and prefere a faster more responsive machine to one that is faffing around building an unwanted index of some form , As for Mac users nuff said .
My gripes with beagle are just two:
1) It tends to use quite a lot of disk space (at least during its
initial run) even it the disk is almost full, resulting in 100%
disk usage.
2) It runs even when my laptop is running on battery shortening battery
life.
I don't think that either point is something that most users have
problems with/care about so my solution to my problems was:
I removed all beagle packages from my system and added *beagle* to
/etc/zypper/locks.
I'm running factory.
