Actually, I did not intend that in the beginning, and I'm not a troll. The truth of the matter is that the advice I gave to uninstall mono was at the first (outside of this thread) given to me. I really do think it had more to do with the various bloated mono engines running (not just in SUSE) on linux these days due to C#.NET and removing the runtime etc solved the problem permanently. I was really hoping someone would tell us whether the inherent problems with zmd zen (Beagle) as CPU hogs was related to the engineering behind those products specifically vs the (CLR) runtime. Although, in fairness I must confess my anti-M$ bias, that was not the main point at the start of the thread... I regret allowing myself to digress <sorry>.
Beagle had a bad reputation originally for some bad CPU-hogging, but it's really improved and it's just not very fair (or accurate) to blame this on mono; these days beagle is very good, efficient with CPU and memory usage, and performs very well. The problem with ZMD was generally twofold: (i) the ZMD helpers, which have problems, and (ii) unsuitability for openSUSE, which is more for your average consumer rather than an enterprise, which means the structure and design of it is a lot heavier than any average joe would need. Though I don't really use them since I'm more of a KDE guy, Banshee and F-spot are two very nice applications written in mono. They're really producing some exciting technologies; to label it as bloated is to just grossly, and inaccurately oversimplify the genuine advances of any development platform.
