> If you reboot now, has baloo_file done its work or does it still take time?

I see the issue every time I restart the system. For sure when I reboot, most
likely (I'll check again) even when I logout and login again. Baloo_file hogs
the machine for some time. The first time it was huge, after that first time it
is about 5-10'.

I can try that, but baloo does not seem to be under memory pressure. My set of
indexed files is actually not that big. Furthermore, systemd always reports a
memory usage well below the limit (`Memory: 249.1M (high: 512.0M available:
262.8M peak: 249.2M)`).

Even when busy, baloo should probably try to be a better listener ;-). The
issue is that right after boot things like giving a presentation are sort of
impossible unless you kill `baloo_file` the hard way, which is not really nice.
