Click on the "Service" tab. You should see beagled there chewing up your resources like old bones.
Kill it by clicking disable.
I had looked there, but it apparently hadn't been running as a service, as it didn't show up in the list of services.
To permanently rid yourself of the rabid dog, go into your favorite software management tool.
Search for beagle.
De select (if selected) beagle, beagle-gui and kio-beagle. That should get rid of the cursed beast forever from your system, which will now increase in performance threefold.
Well, I had done that (as I thought I had tried to convey in my original post), but although those beagle packages were gone, the beagled-helper process was still running. I finally got desperate and just killed it. Don't think I've ever come across a package manager (outside of MS Windows, that is) which didn't stop the processes belonging to a package being removed.
