You forgot *Digikam* and *Amarok*.
I'm running quassel in the client-server setup with postgres as backend, left 
Amarok alone and use postgres for Akonadi.

Unfortunately, that doesn't help much. Virtuoso is the real offender here. I 
don't understand what it indexes. Search in Kmail doesn't work anyway. It 
never returns any results.

I'm in the same boat as O. Sinclair. I /like/ Kontact (and even the Akonadi 
idea). The features are perfect, but the bugs are too numerous and performance 
is very, very bad.

Here's to hope!
