you should try using --enable-low-memory with trackerd which lowers all 
cache values but gives you slower indexing. If this still produces high 
leves of memory usgae then we can be sure its memory leaking (it will 
grow slightly in memory due to increased no of watches + we are zipping 
full text which can take double the memory of the contents you are zipping)

we by default use a higher level of caching with sqlite using on average 
up to  3MB per connection per thread (max of 4 threads with 3 
connections each means theroectically max memory usage by sqlite would 
be 36 MB)

I am not sure what benefits this cache gives over the systems disk cache 
but I will have a play. It will need some for sorting and grouping 
results but it could do with some experimentation

mclasen told me he is building an external lib for nautilus that 
encapsulates tracker and beagle interfaces for searching in nautilus. It 
will be in FC7 and he hopes to get it upstream into nautilus proper (as 
he is a redhat guy and the main gtk hacker that seems likely)
