I use it and "locate" and like it. I seldom notice it running.

They *will* ask for specifics and tell you how to get them. But YOU must take the first step as they do not know you have a problem. This is not the place to make your concerns noticed by the developers. > I have no specifics other than to say that Beagle is not suitable to > be used on a regular basis because of the performance impact I and > every one else I know have experienced.... which is basically what > almost everyone here is saying... minus the few who do have Beagle > working fine. > > I would like to know how they managed it... if the answer is something > along the lines of "I opened a terminal, su to root, nice -19ed it and > then issue this other long string of commands..."... sorry... that > tells me that Beagle should not be given to the masses by default.
