Screenshot with memory details about baloo_indexer

SUMMARY
Baloo file indexer sometimes uses a lot of resources. Maybe could should be a
way of giving a default max consumable resources limit for the indexer in order
of not stressing the PC with this task in the background, or making it use the
resources according to the demand. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download a zipped master branch of any github repo with a considerable size,
it happened to me with this repo: https://github.com/mapsme/omim

2. Unzipp it in a directory being watched by baloo

3. Get frozen by douzen of minutes

OBSERVED RESULT
Baloo is taking up to the 40% of the total RAM amount, not even bothering about
how much it left avaliable.

EXPECTED RESULT
Baloo should not be taking such an amount of resources. At least not when am
actively using other apps in foreground.
