The problem with these thingies is not that they are not good. They simply bog down the system. It is necessary to be able to nice and/or ionice these. Akonadi spawns a load of processes. KDE4 crawls until they complete their sync-up or whatever they are doing. Recollindex can be run from a start script niced at 19 and one does not know it is running. Nepomuk might be OK if it could this this. ANY indexer will bog down a system if not niced (not to mention the size of its data- file). For this reason, I got rid of google. Nepomuk is in the same catagory unless I have more control over it. FIrst thing I do when I log on to kde4 is nice krunner, akonadiserver to 15. If I do not do this, I cannot do anything in the GUI. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
