1. I have not seen any data comparing Beagle with other search options. Most of them are variants of Lucene.
The facts that they are variants of Lucene doesn't help compare ;-)
2. I de-install it even on my 4 GB dual-core Athlon/Turion 64 systems. It renders my 512 MB Athlon XP unusable. 3. If Beagle is an integral part of Gnome, perhaps the correct approach is for someone to profile Beagle and find out where the bottlenecks are. And if it's doing something stupid, do something smarter. But as it stands now, I can't think of a use case that would justify installing it given its present behavior.
It's not an integral part of GNOME since upstream doesn't come with something like beagle/tracker/etc. by default (although the code to use them is there). However, the upstream experience for searching is, hrm, not really great. That's why beagle is installed by default in the first place: because it's supposed to help polish the user experience. (of course, it appears that it's failing there for a good bunch of users because of impact on performances) And yes, one useful thing to do would be to have people profile beagle and see what's wrong.
