This happened to me today on XUbuntu 15.04 final with updates. It seems to stay on hogging as much as CPU as it can get its hands on (nice 10 apparently) and using about as much memory as stated earlier here. It just keeps on hogging, making me wonder if something's gone wrong.
I probably can figure out how to disable it somewhere..an average user would not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/363695 Title: update-apt-xapian-index uses too much CPU and memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/apt/+bug/363695/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
