nepomukindexer hogging resources

[dibl]

In the past few days I have noticed nepomukindexer running up to 13% of CPU resources.  On my i7-950 this is a lot -- I would hate to see what happens on my netbook.  My system is fully updated and has been up for over 2 days (this one was "cross-graded" from aptosid), so I think everything was indexed long ago!

Does anyone else see this?

First solution for this is to exclude mp3-files from indexing.

That makes sense -- 12.5% would be one of the 8 threads in my i7-950.  And this system is where I have my music files -- many, many mp3 files among them.  I simply disabled nepomuk and virtuoso, as I have no issue with finding things on this one.

Thank you!

Also index just the files in your home directory nothing else. Stuff that's relatively static shouldn't need reindexing unless they get moved or deleted

...Does anyone else see this?

Yes, I observed that too. I will check the hints.

for me it is not mp3, as they are on a seperate partition. I excluded the photos "*.jpg", selected "weekly" and gave now just 200 MB instead of 500.

same here,

I disabled the file indexing completely
My cpu was drained and thought it's preferable to have a well running system than be able to search through files metadata

Hi luckyb,

yes, why not disabling,if you don't need it respectively benefit from it. Otherwise I am happy that it works now (was announced more than a couple of months).

Recoll seems to be the better search-indexing tool! What about tracker, which is used also by gnome?
