Strigi won't index all your home directory by default.

You can specify which directories to monitor and, most important of all, you 
can create rules for include/ignore resource indexing. In this way you'll be 
able to skip all .svn dirs, private folder, ...

Yes I know :(

BTW, you can choose to update the index:
- by hand (== click a button)
- after X minutes
- automatically: using inotify
