With Nepomuk/Strigi switched on... I would see a significant performance hit for about 10 minutes after a restart when it would go and re-index everything it had already indexed.

similar here, but for me it's not really 100%, something less. and while with earlier KDE versions the nepomuk-related processes were actually blocking my system so that it froze for seconds, this doesn't happen anymore. i don't see the processes "niced" in the system monitor, but somehow they seem to "go out of the way" of other applications running; not sure how. (KDE 4.5.85 at present, but i've seen this improvement with 4.5.x already.)
I should clarify.. it doesn't block up my system... I can still use it while it's indexing (ie it's nothing like Beagle was)... I just get annoyed that it runs all cores at 100%, and my system fans all switch to high... the noise is really annoying. Once it stops its redundant re-indexing (something I think is incredibly dumb since it's already indexed everything I told it to index) then my system settles down and the fans all go quiet. I wish these tools could be set to run during a "quiet" time of low activity instead of right when the system starts up. I don't mind having Nepomuk/Strigi running if it behaves, and post-indexing, it does behave (on KDE4.6)... but that indexing stage on every single startup... my laptop almost goes up in flames before it's done indexing and the poor fan almost spins itself out of the laptop housing, and my desktop sounds like a turbine race car for 10 minutes or so. This is why I turn it off.... C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
