Package: tracker
Version: 0.6.91-1
Severity: normal
Hi.
Tracker is killing my machine (eating too much CPU and memory, which was
already reported in #467270), so I pause it (from the applet).
But still, even when paused, top shows it as using more than 90% of my CPU...
what's wrong ?
The log doesn't show any activity : last message is :
27 mar 2009, 08:15:43: Tracker: New DBus request, not pausing indexer, already
in paused state
27 mar 2009, 08:15:43: Tracker: ---> [35] Success, no error given
What the heck is it doing when paused : polling resources still ?
I issued a strace -p on a running trackerd and saw :

nice flood...
...
Why is it polling constantly some resource instead of say every few second
maybe ?... dunno :(
Thanks in advance.
