I'm trying to take advantage of the newly usable desktop search feature and have selected several GBs of documents for indexing. The drawback is that the various processes associated with this task -- nepomukservices, virtuoso-t -- chew heavily on the CPU and slurp away I/O bandwidth.
I noticed one nepomukservices process that is running at nice level 19, all other related processes apparently have nice level 0. I don't know if there is any ionice-ing done at all. Shouldn't all these processes be running in such a way as to yield CPU and I/O bandwidth to other processes? The only possible reason against this might be issues with priority inversion, where a higher priority (UI) app is waiting for a lower priority server process to reply, while at the same time precluding the lower priority process from getting any work done. However, I have no idea whether this case can occur at all.
