Understandable, though one would wonder why you use Ubuntu in the first
place ... 

Also, remember that the fastest computer is the one that does nothing,
just like the most secure one is not connected to anything (and encased
in concrete at the ocean floor) ;)

Regarding Tracker: note that it actually slows down things only very
rarely, A few minutes after booting and when you create new files that
it needs to index. On my machine, it uses practically zero resources
practically all the time.
