Is this resident size (RSS) or virtual size (Vsize)? The latter is effectively a meaningless number. But if RSS size is anywhere near 1 gig or even, say, 100 megs, that's too big and there is probably a bug in there. If the main beagle process is that big (beagled), then it probably won't ever go down unless you restart the daemon. Sizes that big are a bug. If it's in the helper process (beagled-index-helper), then it should shut itself down and restart when memory usage gets high. This can happen with a particularly large, misbehaving file (often HTML or MS Word).
