Hi all,
Anyone else seeing Beagle really kill performance? I have disabled it and my machine finally is perky, but every now and then, I find it in memory again. How do I arange it to chew up less memory and CPU or kill it once and for all?
You can't.
It's one of the stupidest pieces of software that I've ever seen in my entire 27 years of computing. Even putting it at the lowest priority "nice" value doesn't help, because the damn thing floods the disk drive with a constant stream of disk-head seeks, which interferes with any other process's attempts to use the disk drive by making it basically, stand in line with all of beagle's worthless disk I/O requests.
The maintainers for beagle should be taken out and kneecapped, or beat about the head with a police baton.
Every day
Until they remove every trace of it from human existence, except for snippets preserved for teaching purposes, under the topic of "DO NOT DO THESE THINGS in a background services programs"
I'm starting to get tired of the hating on Beagle's devs. I don't care if you don't like the software, although I do find it sad, since Beagle is actually very good, and I do know that it can cause some issues with some people, but don't hate on the actual people behind the software. If you hated Wal-Mart, do you go up to the greeter at the door and tell them their knees should be broken? Seriously, get back to the actual discussion about the software, and stop hating on the actual people behind the software. -- Kevin "Yo" Dupuy | Public Email: <kevin@kevinsword.com> Merry Christmas from Yo.media! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
