OK, here's the issue: you're not "most people". I'm not most people. All of us subscribed to this mailing list are probably not most people. And most people don't name their files orderly, and put them in logical places. I've seen people who write something about a project about the Civil War and name it "project.doc". I would name it "Civil War Project.odt", and that person put the file in their My Pictures folder because that's where the Save dialog box is open to. They are the people who would benefit most from Beagle, and that's also about 90% of the computing population, so if openSUSE wants to reach that 90%, it a good idea to have Beagle installed by default and turned on.
Unless of course that solution destroys the performance on the target system. I am the one who started this thread, and as I stated at the beginning, I have a dual core Turion L52 64bit processor, 1.5Gigs of memory and a 7200 RPM Sata drive, and the performance went out the door. Other than a large MBox in my Thunderbird, I don't have that much data to index, and Beagle took 700Meg or RAM and 1Gig of SWAP, niced or not, that causes a lot of swapping.

I think a bigger and more appropriate question is to determine WHY your performance is degraded. I'm running 10.3 on two boxes with far less power than you, with the exception that on one of those boxes, it is a 750GB Sata drive. And I have had absolutely NO performance degradation whatsoever, and I do see value in Beagle, even if I don't use it all that much. So maybe we should focus on what are the issues related to your hardware configuration/setup? THEN, we can get to the heart of the problems some users (but not all!) experience. At which point, you'll have a happy system if you don't need Beagle, and others will have a happy system if they DO need Beagle. Otherwise, all you're implying is have it your way, and not anyone else's way. And I find that logic rather puzzling. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
