Just like any good hound dog, on my system beagled never stops!

After the system has been idle for a few minutes beagled will start up
and start burning CPU. At first I thought this was expected behavior.

Then I noticed that it isn't actually doing anything and it never stops!

I can tell it isn't indexing anything because the hard drive is not
running and no matter how long I leave the system beagled keeps burning
CPU. On my laptop this causes the fans to run on max and is just
generally kind of annoying.

Is there something wrong with mine or should I file a bug report?

What are your system specs? If you have a reasonably new system, Beagle
should be running OK. You definitely shouldn't be getting system
slowdowns from Beagle on modern hardware.

The Beagle indexer could be getting caught up on a file. Proprietary
files, like Word docs, etc. tend to do this the most. I know this was a
problem in the early days of Beagle in SUSE but I'm not sure if it's
much of an issue anymore.

The Beagle Project has a page that you can look at about these issues:
http://beagle-project.org/Troubleshooting_CPU

Just like a real beagle, it's impossibly stubborn, and untrainable.

The real problem is that it's written in Mono.
Mono is a reimplementation of C#.
Unlike real languages, which have a purpose to solve problems in a
manner which is efficient as possible, C# is written (by MS) for
the purpose of burning up resources (like CPU cycles), so as to
cause the computer owner to replace their current computer with a new
one (thus generating another sale for MS Windows).

Hope that helps.

C# is an abortion
Mono is a reimplementation of an abortion.
Beagle is an app written in a reimplementation of an abortion.

BTW, John: there seem to be some people with almost religious hatred of
anything Mono based. I tend to ignore them unless they actually present
some facts and arguments instead of just calling things names ;-)
