Confirming #18 Olafur Arason's experience..
On Karmic, with apt-xapian-index-0.21ubuntu2
Agreed with #14 Tormod Volden, and I really wish it was even a band-aid
solution.
Test-bed:
Pentium-III 500Mhz with 192MB RAM running a minimal install and a light-weight
LXDE/openbox desktop, idle, with only 48MB of the 192MB physical RAM being used.
Result: update-apt-xapian-index consumes 92-98% CPU, and over 37.5% of
physical RAM.
I'm sorry, but I do not think the "run with nice and ionice" could be
considered a proper fix. So if you'll kindly allow me, I'll change the
bug status back to "confirmed" for now.
** Changed in: apt-xapian-index (Ubuntu)
Status: Fix Released => Confirmed
