@Tormond: Actually the indexer (IMO) should work as a background job
using CPU (limited) when idle. Instead it takes control of the system
regardless of what is running. It causes issues with other applications,
creates a possible hardware issue, etc. I do however agree with your
last comment that it doesn't belong on the desktop unless re-engineered.
I suspect that the above is why there were changes made in the Maverick
release:
apt-xapian-index (0.39ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low
* debian/postinst:
- when upgrading, ensure the index is fully rebuild (in the
background) to ensure that we get updated information in
/var/lib/apt-xapian-index/{index.values} and that the index
fully utilizes the new plugins (LP: #646018)
I guess the question is how to test in lucid. I've just installed that
version <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/apt-
xapian-index_0.39ubuntu1_all.deb> & will give it a few days to determine
if it helps.
