[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 77106] Re: 100% cpu load after 5' of inactivity

[Kevin Kubasik]

2 big points to bring up here.

1) Please see if you can't get a version of 0.2.14 somewhere, overall
its nicer on the CPU/Ram then previous releases.


2) A big part of what were seeing here is a behavioral thing. Beagle is programmed to stay quite and throttle itself heavily when the user is active at the computer. However, once the screensaver activates, beagle opens up and is far less frugal with system resources. Now, some balk at this idea, however, its completes indexing _much_ faster and happens when the computer is not in use.

However, at compile time, if the --disable-xss flag is passed, then
beagle will not notice when the computer is idle and will always be
conservative.

Personally, I would rather let it go all out when I'm not using the
computer, but thats one opinion. It's very unlikely upstream is going to
change this behaviour, but if ubuntu really wants, they can compile
beagle with the --disable-xss flag, however, Im afraid that were gonna
end up with people complaining beagle takes far to long to index
(especially things like mail)
