Hi Morten,

        I noticed your blog wrt. turning beagle off as the first step; I'd love
to gather some more data on that if it's possible ? My hope is that
there is some pathalogical use-case that we can identify and turn off by
default here.

        Any chance of some help with your use-case identifying the issue ? Here
would be my first few suggestions:

        beagle-settings

        Can you turn off indexing Evolution mail (assuming you use evo) -
clearly people tend to have tons of mail, and the indexing is for
various reasons rather inefficient (AFAIR).

        Do you have lots of source directories in your home directory ? it's
quite possible this is the issue, and we need to have some option to
detect & turn off source tree indexing [ after all it's unlikely anyone
would want it AFAICS ].

        Also, I wonder if in fact you were hurt by the system beagle thingit
that builds a shared index for system level files, AFAIR it used to run
shortly after install, or the user process.

        Finally - in -theory- beagle should run at the lowest io priority
level, and have little-to-no impact on responsiveness, scheduler
allowing ( usually cfq, and though there are some tweakables
in /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/ that supposedly can yield better
performance I forget which ones they are ;-).

        Of course - if you have some time to help find the issue ?

        Thanks,

                Michael.
