Beagle is not alone, the update of manpages is also tax on computer..
Not to mention ZMD. I thought I was going to have to turn off beagle, but once I removed ZMD my system stopped becoming unresponsive and I no longer felt the need to disable beagle. I've never had beagle make my system unusable but ZMD used to do it all the time. It was tempting to blame beagle because beagle indexing and ZMD updates were often running at the same time, and the combination of the two is a real killer.
Thanks for the reminder. The same is here. I have no real problems since ZMD is back where it came from. I felt that as a problem because few services run at once after installation and hard disk is very busy, so even if I know what to do, I have to wait console to appear, open new root shell, ps to list processes, type in kill command. Than next time as job was not done it started over. I didn't looked details, but earlier versions used to look all mounted space, including widows partition. To look in tens of GB is not fast, so making it nicer will help. Little notification, so the people know what is going on, like in 10.3 alpha, than set default to be not so aggressive and option to configure services, will probably do better to everyone. As it is now, it is out of reach and understanding for newcomers, and makes system appear dog slow. Experienced users that doesn't need some of services have to remove annoyance manually, but as described above, it takes time. The hardware: I use daily older Athlon XP that is now running at 1250 MHz (it was 1667 MHz ie. XP 2000+), 512 MB RAM, nVidia FX 5200 / 256 RAM, 2x 80 GB.
