Akonadi - Is it really necessary?

[Richard S. Crawford]

I turned on my computer this morning (I'd added a new keyboard), and
noticed that it was running at a glacial pace. I opened a terminal window
and executed "top" just to see what was going on, and found four processes
related to Akonadi running, and each taking up at least 33% of CPU power.

I've always wondered what Akonadi actually is and whether I actually need
it on my system. If not, how do I get rid of it, assuming it continues to
slow down my computer so much?
