Well, after fixing a long standing performance bug in Akonadi maildir resource 
with the help of Sergio and David[1], I took also compiled all the rest of 
kdepim and also Baloo, and I say:

I am impressed.

It indexed files and PIM data so fast I couldn´t even believe it. I don´t know 
yet whether the index is complete, maybe some files are missing since I stopped 
the file indexer manually once... but it finds mails, it finds files… and that as 
well blazingly fast.

Now this machine isn´t basically slow with its Dual SSD BTRFS RAID-1, yet… its 
nice.

Some people indeed report performance troubles, but that may at least partly 
related to reindexing often changing files. So I bet there are still issues, 
but for me flies circles around Nepomuk. *Easily*.
