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.
I never said anything about system slowdowns and yes this is modern hardware; an HP 8510p laptop (2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo).
The problem is it runs when the machine is idle, burns high CPU causing the system fans to come on and isn't doing anything (which is obvious since the disk isn't turning so it can't be indexing).
As soon as I move the mouse or touch the keyboard it stops so it doesn't cause any problems when I'm actually using the system.
It's probably a bug in one of the backends, hanging on some file - like the next comment said:
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
I may send it a signal and see if it logs anything useful.
It might be problematic to do it, as if you touch a key it will stop :-?
If nothing else, I learned from this thread that people have strong feelings about beagle.... wow.. I had no idea it was _that_ touchy a subject ;)
