We had almost endless discussion in opensuse@opensuse.org
It did kind of get out of hand... granted a few participants were more interested in inflammatory remarks.
nasty resource hog. That contradicts my experience, but except taking under loop google results, where it showed mix of obsolete articles and opinions, I had no much tools to prove my point that beagle is not a problem, at least not in that many cases.
I really don't understand that. My experience with Beagle has always been negative. Everyone I know (personally, not through mailing lists) who runs openSUSE also has the same experience. I was chatting with a friend yesterday about his computer. He mentioned that he had installed openSUSE10.3 about 2 weeks ago, and was commenting on the performance... how frustratingly slow it was at times. I suggested (from my own experience) that he stop and/or remove Beagle and see of that made any difference. He removed it and immediately the computer started working better. This was after Beagle was running for about 2 weeks. This fits in with my personal experiences... even after more than enough time for it to index. Same issue with my brother's computer.. an install with at least a week up constant uptime and he was having performance issues... especially while gaming... all resolved by removing Beagle. Now.. if that was consistent for everyone, it would point to a problem with Beagle, but there are people here saying it works great, and they can't imagine being without it. We have a group on one side who have real issues with Beagle... and on the other, a group who have no issues at all. The group who find it kills all system performance want it removed.. or at the very least, an opt-in option at install... the others think we're crazy... that we're whining... that we're trolling etc. It's a no win situation. I don't know what else to say... and I won't keep commenting here beyond this email... I'm willing to give Beagle a try now and then... as I do with all software included in the default install. I don't hate it.. I don't love it either. What I would like to understand is why there is a significant number of us that have real issues with it when it runs... even after a reasonable time for indexing... even when using the latest build... or at least the build that came with the 10.3 release ISOs. It's something I can't solve personally... nor will it be resolved with endless debates on the mailing lists.
