Nepomuk might be really great but all those kde4 daemons run-a-muk. Bog down
the system.
Funny, recoll runs nice 19 and one does not know it is running, and it works
just fine. Find me a skeleton to make a runner and I will make a recoll-
runner.
When these things can be configured to run niced, ioniced or priortized so one
does not notice them, simply enjoys the results, I will love them. Akonadi is
manageable with some stuff reniced but kde4 comes up slowly and without the
renice, can bog down until all this stuff has "syncronized."
