Apart from some photos and music I don't have much data on this laptop - I 
keep everything on the server, so my situation is not very different from 
yours.  Nicing nepomuk and strigi to 19 makes them wait for available cycles, 
and, slow as the result is, it made it usable.  I have been letting it carry 
on overnight for the last few days.  That 20GB logfile had filled up over just 
over 2 days.  With the amount of data on that drive I expected it to take 
time.  What I didn't expect is this dreadful filling up of logfiles.  I think 
they will have to remain inactive until I get this sorted.
