If you just blindly accept the installed settings you are going to run into slowdown (no where near as bad as the darn dog beagle thou) the suse idea of cron as has been stated on the lists or an regular basis is pants to say the least with timings that are to say the least weired erring on strange who would start an DB update in the middle of the working afternoon when the machine is in full use maybe there is some logic in it i cant find any , These sort of things either need to run overnight (as mine do) or they need to be easily set to run during the lunch break or similar .
