It seems it is acting up because of the Thunderbird subsystem and the way it indexes the messages. I have a couple huge mailboxes here and there is, seemingly, no way to tell Beagle not to touch certain accounts and folders.
More on this here: http://www.mail-archive.com/dashboard- [EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg02467.html ** Summary changed: - Beagle daemon generates a high load condition + Beagle daemon generates a high load condition when indexing Thunderbird mailboxes ** Description changed: Upon startup beagled and beagled-helper take over the CPU and the machine becomes completely unresponsive. Re-nicing both to 19 alleviates but doesn't solve the problem. Eventually, load gets so high I have to kill both processes, hence this crash. + + This could be aleviated if there were a way to tell Beagle not to index + some mailboxes/folders like you can with Evolution. -- Beagle daemon generates a high load condition when indexing Thunderbird mailboxes https://launchpad.net/bugs/73902 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
