I see that it is not indexing my $HOME (which its disabled file indexing). I either added that or it migrated settings from Nepomuk. For PIM, if I disable Baloo indexing for emails, it should terminate the process instead of keeping it running. I'll set about a patch to have the process killed if you disable the agent for the user vs killing it for all users. I think that should work, then my complaint goes away completely.
