Tuesday now. Fans start blowing and disk light on solid. Baloo seems to
only be using 12% CPU, but is stuck at 32% and "Idle". It took nearly a
minute to get into the Plasma Settings -> File Search panel. Turning
Baloo off from there didn't stop the process. Although the settings
panel is showing Baloo as Idle it is far from it. Killing the process
and calm is restored.
