You can disable indexing but AFAIK, Kmail does indeed need Nepomuk to be on the system. > Now my machine again started to be very slow.

Tracker is the indexer service for the GNOME desktop. You can also disable it. > OK. I've deinstalled it (which caused deinstallation of gnome). What? That cannot be possible, sir. You can have GNOME with no tracker daemon, though some of its libs are needed. > However it is really annoying that such CPU, memory and disk hungry > utilities are installed automatically.

They're usually installed because of package dependencies, mainly coming from the "recommended" or "suggested" tags, but you are not "obligued" to them, you can choose: 1/ To not install them 2/ Get them installed but disabled 3/ Get the installed and tweaked to be disk space and CPU "resource wise".
