Another annoyance is that it runs with the highest priority possible, while (as it is a background) process should run with a very low prority. After I removed beagle all this is gone, and as kde comes with its own desktop search function, there is no desire on my side for beagle.
Beagle is not alone, the update of manpages is also tax on computer..
Someone came on idea to run few processes that use hard disk heavily at startup which gives very bad image of openSUSE.
I'm asking myself how many users ditched openSUSE when after installation it was slow. I know how to see what is the reason, and stop processes, but 99% of new users will be just disappointed and go away.
The bad joke is continuing with 10.3 alpha.
Is it indexing of any kind that important to make first experience with SUSE poor as it can be.
Opensuse is slow on my old hardware, but Windows 2000 ran faster on this hardware than Opensuse does. It would be nice if it ran a little faster, but even though it is slow, I have come to like Opensuse and Linux. I have almost a gigabyte of memory and it is sorely taxed by the system. Out of the 768MB of memory I usually have around 130 to 200MB free memory. This does cause me some concern, but again, I like the operating system and I wait for it to do its thing. I am in no hurry, so I wait. I guess if I was in a heavy production environment I would look for a new Linux OS, but I like the security and the KDE desktop. I realize with a faster processor and more RAM I would probably see an improvement in I/O; and when I find the proper hardware to run Opensuse, I will build a system to handle over-taxation the OS causes. Until then I am happy to wait. As a newcomer to Linux, and I've tried Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu, I still like Opensuse the best even though it does run slow.
