Hello,
Since I installed 10.3, I notice an awfull lot of disc activities during the,
say, five minutes following boot. I've suspected beagle,but if I run top I see
that the culprit seems to be "zypper". I can't figure out what it's doing,
but it's eating up to 97% of my CPU time at moments.
I've done some search, but I am not sure if I could reduce zypper's activity,
or simply remove it? Seems to be used by Yast2 for package management, but
can Yast2 do without?

Modifying this behavior is simple. Just right-click opensuseupdater in
the sys tray, choose quit and then click "do not start on login" (or
something similar). This will disable online update from running every
time you login and stop the automaitc refresh of all repositories.
This is no big deal, I run that way. Just remember you must manually do
the yast->online update once in a while.
Depending on whether you use Beagle search index, you will also want to
either (1) disable Beagle in control center, or (2) remove it completely
with "rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep beagle) kerry" from the command line as root.
After making those two modifications, you will not experience any more
slowdown during the first 5-10 minutes after login. Online update and
beagle are the problems.
For online update the solution is to configure yast->software->configure
online update. You can set online update to run weekly/monthly, etc.
That way you can still stay current on updates without it running on
every login.
