Hello every body!

I'm running my system on ~amd64 and have Gnome 2.14 on it. The new Deskbar works fine with beagle, but sometimes it cause terrible slowdowns to the system, when everything literally crawls down to a stop. It's almost intolerable. Also, i f beagled is running, there are "hiccups" noticed when I view movies with Kmplayer.

Any ideas?

My system is Althon64 3200+ @ 2.6 GHz, 1GB RAM, Segate Baraccuda 80GB PATA, X1800 XT (with the latest drivers correctly installed).

Thanks in advance!

What do you expect from a mono-application

look here, it is still in early stages but is written in c and uses db as a backend.

So, you are facing the same problems too?

Is the Deskbar not fuctional then?

No I've never used the beagle, as I've heard of such problems

I use now the tracker, you could look at the link, as I said it still in development, but provides indexing of the main types and it could be integrated with the deskbar-applet and nautilus.

I don't use beagle myself so this is just a guess. But you could probably remedy the problem by installing schedtool and setting the beagle daemon (or whatever daemon that hogs your system) to SCHED_BATCH (or perhaps SCHED_IDLEPRIO if you've a -ck kernel).
