Note 2: btw, another solution could be to replace beagle with something
else. Did people investigate how the other players in this field compare
to beagle? Are people opposed to beagle specifically or to the fact that
an indexer has an impact on performances?

1. I have not seen any data comparing Beagle with other search
options. Most of them are variants of Lucene.
2. I de-install it even on my 4 GB dual-core Athlon/Turion 64 systems.
It renders my 512 MB Athlon XP unusable.
3. If Beagle is an integral part of Gnome, perhaps the correct
approach is for someone to profile Beagle and find out where the
bottlenecks are. And if it's doing something stupid, do something
smarter. But as it stands now, I can't think of a use case that would
justify installing it given its present behavior.

I've never met a happy clam. In fact, most of them were pretty steamed.
