bea&gle is a nuisance even in dualcore computer

On my workstation it is fine. On my second computer at work it is
problematic (and I have had to disable it), but I'm said a patch is now
available.

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?

updatedb and locate did a very good job and I used it twice a year, si
it's enough.

Honestly, updatedb is rather resource hungry (but fast), and locate is
very different from beagle. locate only indexes file names--beagle
also searches through file contents.

Yes, I use the desktop search from time to time.
