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

[memartin]

For me, the apt-xapian-index cronjob used to crash a complete Xen domU
(Raring minimal install w/ linux-vm, 512 MiB RAM, 1 vcpu, 1 GiB swap) on
a weekly basis until I disabled the cronjob. Took me a while to find out
why the domU crashed in such a timely manner.

I do not have this problem on other hosts running 12.04 Precise, but
this one I upgraded to quantal/raring and the problem appeared. I have
yet to try an upgrade to saucy with the cronjob reenabled.

  update-apt-xapian-index bogs down system

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.
