Worse than that Larry, if you have a small amount of documents its not needed, but if you have 20 years of business records on line it will kill you machine.
When you need it, it won't work.
Essentially, if you need beagle, you have to devote a whole server to it. double-plus-ungood.
I don't find this to be the case. I use it occasionally (not regularly), and I do find performance issues resulting from the indexer (and often have to kill many beagle-helper processes that just pile up), but I find with the number of IMs I have (I use pidgin heavily for work) and the sheer number of documents I have, it does the job OK enough for me. When ti really starts to take over the system, I nuke it. Having it not search remote filesystems helps *a lot*.
