Possibly.  Beagle does some extra work for remote (NFS, SMB) home
directories such that the index is built locally (in /tmp) and
checkpointed back to home every now and then.  But that would mostly
IO-bound (specifically network) and not CPU-bound.

Other than that, network configuration shouldn't matter.

Certainly creating tons and tons of files means that the indexer has
to do more work, but if the build system doesn't build in your home
directory, then this shouldn't be an issue.  (I guess it wouldn't be
for autobuild or the OBS.)

Web browsing may have caused an impact a while ago (more than a year
at this point) but shouldn't matter now.  I guess if your browser
continuously updates a file in your home directory by writing to it
and closing and reopening the file, this would cause problems -- we
have seen this with some BitTorrent cllients, but never browsers.

The question here really is: does this change over time, say, 5 minutes?

If not, you've found a bug; sending SIGUSR2 to the beagled-helper
process will cause beagle to log to its
~/.beagle/Log/current-IndexHelper file which file it's working on.
With that information, you can run the beagle-extract-content tool on
that file and see if it too hangs.  Then I just need to debug *why*
that behavior happens for that specific file.

Thanks,
Joe
