This has been hard to identify the cause because the computer is so slow to respond it's hard to get system monitor opened to see the offending process. Anyway I've finally managed to view system-monitor within the 45 seconds, and it seems to be "tracker-extract" program that is responsible, that was consuming over 1.5GB of RAM on my machine. It was hard to see though because the 45 seconds finished almost as soon as I'd viewed it, so it very quickly disappeared from the top of the process list when ranked by memory usage. So is "tracker-extract" the offending process? Can it be made a little less hungry of Memory (+ CPU) please? I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) 64 bit version on a 2.9GB machine.
