A bit late to the discussion here... I also have to kill Beagle every time I do an install. I tried it again with the 10.3 install I did this weekend. It sucked up so much of my system resources that I could barely do anything else... this is on a *clean* default install (not an upgrade) on an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ with 2Gb of RAM, a /home with basically no data, but about 1.2TB of data on other mount points. My CPU.. both cores.. were running about 99%. RAM was full, and swap was filling up as well. The whole computer was grinding to a halt. When I finally managed top open a terminal and run top... Beagle was there consuming 100% of everything it could. I left Beagle run for a while... an afternoon... and it never changed. Kept my CPU nice and toasty warm though. In the end I sopped the daemon, and removed every trace of Beagle I could find. The result... the computer is back to normal. The 10.3 install is noticeably faster than the previous 10.2 install (also without Beagle).... and I'm happy.. .although a bit puzzled how it is that anyone finds Beagle useable. As a contrast, I can install the Google Desktop indexer (on the dual core system), and I never notice it is there. It indexes roughly the same scope of data (I think). It never runs so that I am aware it's indexing. My other apps carry on with no noticeable impact on performance. I see a few people here saying Beagle runs fine for them with no noticeable impact on performance... how? I've struggled with Beagle since it first appeared on the openSUSE scene. I have seen it's appalling impact on performance over several installs on several different hardware configurations. Not once have I seen it "work" in any measure that could be considered good. I will continue to try it out with each new install I do, but... i don't hold out a lot of hope. I've kind of lumped it in with zmd... another app that is on my search and destroy list for a new install. Once those two apps are gone from a default install the computer works great with openSUSE.
