Hi all,

    Anyone else seeing Beagle really kill performance? I have disabled
it and my machine finally is perky, but every now and then, I find it
in memory again. How do I arange it to chew up less memory and CPU or
kill it once and for all?

You can't.

It's one of the stupidest pieces of software that I've ever
seen in my entire 27 years of computing.  Even putting it at
the lowest priority "nice" value doesn't help, because the
damn thing floods the disk drive with a constant stream of
disk-head seeks, which interferes with any other process's
attempts to use the disk drive by making it basically, stand
in line with all of beagle's worthless disk I/O requests.

The maintainers for beagle should be taken out and kneecapped,
or beat about the head with a police baton.

Every day

Until they remove every trace of it from human existence,
except for snippets preserved for teaching purposes, under
the topic of "DO NOT DO THESE THINGS in a background services
programs"
