Someone that knows about search tools and required properties should create 
benchmarks or anything like that. 

We had almost endless discussion in [EMAIL PROTECTED] with bunch of 
opinions, and even google search results that should confirm that beagle is 
nasty resource hog. That contradicts my experience, but except taking under 
loop google results, where it showed mix of obsolete articles and opinions, I 
had no much tools to prove my point that beagle is not a problem, at least 
not in that many cases. 

I can agree that Beagle is development version, with bugs that can make it 
chase its tail, but I really can't see, in last couple of months, that it 
hogs resources. I had literally no 99% CPU usage where beagle would be the 
culprit, so I can't confirm any claim that tells so. 

What is needed is some comparative study, with numbers that will describe real 
situation.
