Well, in 4.3.x I eliminated it after the first try, because it took so many resources of my machine, that I could not use it for something else. So, you mean, in 4.4.x it takes only a 10% of the resources it took with 4.3.x? LOL, although I really like the idea of the semantic desktop, I rather have a usable machine ... - Jörg
