Well,

not that bad here, but probably similar situation with a 9 year old P4 
Laptop with 2GB of RAM.
The workaround was easy in terminal: sudo chmod -x 
/urs/bin/akonadi_nepomuk_*
after I uninstalled strigi.

Now everything boots fast, emails are read fast, everything is much 
smoother, no unresponsive desktop, ...

Cheers,
Ingo
