--- Comment #66 from Mircea Kitsune <sonichedgehog_hyperblas...@yahoo.com> ---
Just dropping this here: Yesterday I decided to give another shot to Baloo, so
I re-enabled the desktop search setting. It took Baloo nearly 20 hours to index
everything on my drive! And during this entire day, my system was nearly
unusable: Every process would randomly freeze for several seconds, from any
open application to the desktop itself. I was later told this has to do with
the I/O scheduler, and that Baloo intensively using the drive causes other
processes to have to wait in line.

Whatever the cause, Baloo in its current state is a nightmare... at least if
you have a large home partition (I have nearly 800 GB on mine so yeah). I don't
think any system component made me hate it this way, because of how much it can
mess with your system! At least now that it's indexed everything, things seem
to work alright again.
