[Bug 655831] Re: update-apt-xapian-index bogs down system

[Andy Duffell]

This bug is still extant on 11.10. Checked the anacron job and nice is
set to 19, but it still maxed out my dual-core E8400 and caused music
playback to stutter horrifically. That's a bit ridiculous for a
background maintenance job.

Title:
  update-apt-xapian-index bogs down system

Status in Apt Xapian Index:
  New
Status in “apt-xapian-index” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt-xapian-index

  This is related to bug 363695 but is not a dupe - that has been
  "fixed".

  every time the update-apt-xapian-index occurs, the system crawls.
  Possibly related to the I/O responsiveness bug of bug 131094.

  The process is extremely intrusive, taking simple things such as flash
  video and throwing the performance down the toilet.

  While this apport bug was collected via a Lucid machine this also
  affects maverick.
