--- Comment #9 from Oded Arbel <o...@geek.co.il> ---
For me baloo has been acting up every now and then, and I'd like to finally get
to the bottom of this. The behavior is currently catatonic and after posting
this issue I will kill baloo but not change any configuration or data, so the
behavior can be reproduced if someone wants to continue research on this issue.

1. baloo_file_extractor takes a lot of CPU and memory. Here's its line in htop:
----8<----
PID   USER      PRI  NI  VIRT   RES   SHR S CPU% MEM%   TIME+  Command
74566 odeda     39   19  257G 10.1G 9006M S 102. 32.2  8h02:42
/usr/bin/baloo_file_extractor
----8<----

(its a 4 core system, CPU usage looks like a single thread that tries to take
up an entire CPU but is slowed down a bit by IO on my fast NVME and the "over
100%" is a sampling error on the part of htop)

2. `balooctl monitor` shows almost no activity, and from time to time bursts of
a couple dozen entries that look like this:

----8<----
Indexing:
/home/odeda/.cache/mozilla/firefox/i1m74zv1.default/cache2/entries/CE2BB927E036CFCEE27E7795DFB198E7C41A14B6:
Ok
----8<----

It should not be indexing `~/.cache` as `~/.config/baloofilerc` has this:

exclude folders[$e]=$HOME/.cache/,$HOME/mnt/,$HOME/snap/,[and a few other
things]

The weird excluded folder behavior may has something to do with the fact I have
a trailing slash on my $HOME:

----8<----
$ balooctl config show excludeFolders
kf.baloo: Folder cache: std::vector("/home/odeda//.cache/": excluded,
"/home/odeda//snap/": excluded, "/home/odeda//mnt/": excluded, "/home/odeda/":
included)
/home/odeda//.cache/
/home/odeda//snap/
/home/odeda//mnt/
----8<----

3. The index file is huge - about 19GB, which doesn't make a lot of sense to
me. `balooctl indexSize` has this to say:

----8<----
File Size: 18.75 GiB
Used:      948.13 MiB

           PostingDB:       2.93 GiB   316.627 %
          PositionDB:      85.44 MiB     9.011 %
            DocTerms:       1.39 GiB   149.920 %
    DocFilenameTerms:     152.72 MiB    16.107 %
       DocXattrTerms:       8.39 MiB     0.885 %
              IdTree:      35.69 MiB     3.764 %
          IdFileName:     175.18 MiB    18.476 %
             DocTime:      92.85 MiB     9.793 %
             DocData:      43.49 MiB     4.587 %
   ContentIndexingDB:     448.00 KiB     0.046 %
         FailedIdsDB:            0 B     0.000 %
             MTimeDB:      26.48 MiB     2.793 %
----8<----

and to that I can only say "wahhh?!?!?"

Here's also `balooctl status`:

----8<----
Baloo File Indexer is running
Indexer state: Indexing file content
Total files indexed: 2,103,903
Files waiting for content indexing: 6,832
Files failed to index: 0
Current size of index is 18.75 GiB
