Bug ID: 427819 Summary: Baloo file indexer monopolize most of the resources Product: systemsettings Version: 5.20.0 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: kcm_baloo Assignee: baloo-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: adabreu...@gmail.com CC: plasma-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 132433 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=132433&action=edit 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.
