Currently akonadi is a little bit big, that's true. But this will change
in the future. AFAIK sqlite as akonadi storage is on the way (it is
already there but has to be configured by hand).

I don't know why, but most users don't like akonadi and nepomuk. The
strange thing is that if you don't use it you can either switch it of
(nepomuk) or it is not started automatically (akonadi).

Anyway: You can tag photos with data from the address book and this
needs kdepim and akonadi. I think it is a great idea to have a shared
address book for all apps with one simple (or may be not that simple)
interface (same is true for calendar).

For faster search from outside digikam you can enable nepomuk data store
in digikam (all tags are stored in nepomuk as well). This can be
switched in digikam settings.
