I tried killing akonadi via console, not much impact.  I can see the 
nepomukindexer processes coming and going but 
virtuoso is doing all the work... still ...same run I mentioned Wed, plus one 
reboot : 48 hours...
Kubuntu hasn't got the latest build of virtuoso yet - I recall there was 
mention of it having some efficiency 
improvements.

What I was thinking was this something like this : an equivalent to the 
scanning part nepomukindexer launches something 
that would look like this from a shell:

fredmetaparser file1.frd | nepomukegraphdigester [file.frd]

Where 'fredmetaparser' knows how to extract metadata from a '.frd' file and 
output a graph to stdout.
'nepomukegraphdigester' knows uses the Soprano stuff to parse the graph and add 
it to the storage.

You make 'nepomukgraphdigester' have a verbose and/or non-storage mode (eg: 
debugging mode) - it might also need to know 
the file URI (?)

Building the 'fredmetaparser' is just a matter out using stdout to create the 
graphs in one of the simpler forms (xml?) 
should be straightforward enough and easy to debug - you just run the parser on 
a file and look at the output.

Stage two is you pipe it into the 'nepomukgraphdigester' in debug mode and look 
at how happy it is about the graph.

afaik pipes are two or three times faster than anything else, but the downside 
is of course the "protocol' is raw bytes.

Again, I have no idea if the bottleneck is the meta data parsing, the ipc or 
the storage (virtuoso); maybe instrumenting 
the processes would be a good thing?

cheers,
