Just like any good hound dog, on my system beagled never stops!
After the system has been idle for a few minutes beagled will start up and start burning CPU. At first I thought this was expected behavior.
Then I noticed that it isn't actually doing anything and it never stops!
I can tell it isn't indexing anything because the hard drive is not running and no matter how long I leave the system beagled keeps burning CPU. On my laptop this causes the fans to run on max and is just generally kind of annoying.
Is there something wrong with mine or should I file a bug report?
What are your system specs? If you have a reasonably new system, Beagle should be running OK. You definitely shouldn't be getting system slowdowns from Beagle on modern hardware.
The Beagle indexer could be getting caught up on a file. Proprietary files, like Word docs, etc. tend to do this the most. I know this was a problem in the early days of Beagle in SUSE but I'm not sure if it's much of an issue anymore.
The Beagle Project has a page that you can look at about these issues: http://beagle-project.org/Troubleshooting_CPU
Just like a real beagle, it's impossibly stubborn, and untrainable.
The real problem is that it's written in Mono. Mono is a reimplementation of C#. Unlike real languages, which have a purpose to solve problems in a manner which is efficient as possible, C# is written (by MS) for the purpose of burning up resources (like CPU cycles), so as to cause the computer owner to replace their current computer with a new one (thus generating another sale for MS Windows).
Hope that helps.
C# is an abortion Mono is a reimplementation of an abortion. Beagle is an app written in a reimplementation of an abortion.
BTW, John: there seem to be some people with almost religious hatred of anything Mono based. I tend to ignore them unless they actually present some facts and arguments instead of just calling things names ;-)
I tend to ignore them as well. Yes, we have Java and mono is a clone of Java, but it works. Of course, I have systems running on MS.NET (C#) handling 300K+ transactions per day running on Windows NT 2003 Workstations. I don't think mono.net is better or worse than any other JIT system out there. It depends on how the given application is implemented. You can have bad code in C as easily as in mono. Keep in mind, Beagle is an indexing tool It runs to index the metadata on all files in a file system. That takes a lot of disk io and a lot of resources.
