Remove away. It's one of the first things that I do on any of my low
memory/cpu machines.

Package tracker is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

If you'd rather not go quite that far, you can:

1. Modify the tracker settings so that it is not so disruptive.
System|Preferences|Search and Indexing
2. Remove it from your Session settings
(System|Preferences|Sessions|Startup Programs) so that it doesn't start
when your session is opened.
