It is possible to remove it, it is just a matter of not accepting the defaults and doing a bit of manual work in the package manager. > Now my machine again started to be very slow.

I've deinstalled it (which caused deinstallation of gnome). It is a standard part of Gnome, after all. None the less, it is not required, and can be uninstalled with only minimal other components being uninstalled, just like nepomuk. > However it is really annoying that such CPU, memory and disk hungry > utilities are installed automatically. > For example my home directory uses 210GB on disk.

They are installed because they are a standard part of their desktops, and they are useful They are also not that resource hungry once initial indexing is done. 2.9GB is only 1.3 percent, and it is the cache dir, if you want you can delete it. As far as the number of processes spawned, it may be that you that version has a bug. It is Testing after all.
