I'm certainly finding Baloo much more pleasant than I did Nepomuk, so thanks for that. I find the KMail searching fast and useful and I no longer notice my system getting bogged down with indexing all the time. That said, there were times with Nepomuk that I would have gladly forgone all the functionality you describe to get my system back in a responsive state. While Baloo is a huge improvement from my point of view, I've no doubt you'll get people who want it off. I think it would be a reasonable design choice to give the option to disable it on KMail too, but make it explicit what that will cause.
