How do you figure that?

Maybe once Beagle works a bit better it should be in the default
install, but right now... given its horrible performance (for a large
number of people), I would say Beagle should not be in the default
install... at all.  Optional... sure... but default?

When I am doing phone support for a new user... and I do a fair bit of
remote install guidance with openSUSE.... I get the novice user to do
a default install... that includes Beagle.  In every single case, I
have been called back with the question, "why is this Linux so slow?"
In every single case, I've instructed them to remove Beagle and the
problem was solved.  In fact now (in the last couple of months) for
those novice installs, I simply tell them to remove Beagle right at
the start to save me the phone call later complaining about the
computer performance.

So, this is not just one particular hardware config that is
problematic.  This is over many systems... AMD and Intel CPUs... RAM
from 510MB up to 4Gb.... many different motherboard brands... some
systems with only high speed SATA drives, others with older IDE
drives.  I have yet to see any common and obvious factor between all
these computers and Beagle's performance... or lack thereof.
