baloo_file_extractor is slowing me down.

[Christian Dysthe]

Hi,

I am running KDE Neon user edition. Recently I have noticed that my laptop 
has been slow and sluggish. I have found baloo_file_extractor to be the 
culprit. After a while is consumes 4 GB or RAM and between 50 and 100% of 
my CPU. As soon as I kill the process my laptop speeds up again. I'm not 
sure exactly when this started but it has been during the last couple of 
months. I have noticed I have a very large ~/.xsession-errors file with a 
lot of baloo references in it. I find a lot of this:

org.kde.baloo: Found removable storage volume for Baloo undocking: 
"/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-10/1-10:1.0/0003:1FD2:6007.0008/input/input22/mouse2"

org.kde.baloo: Found removable storage volume for Baloo undocking: 
"/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-10/1-10:1.0/0003:1FD2:6007.0008/input/input22/event9"

org.kde.baloo: Found removable storage volume for Baloo undocking: 
"/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-10/1-10:1.0/0003:1FD2:6007.0008/input/input22"


but not sure if that is relevant. How can I find out what is causing this 
and possibly get baloo to behave like it did in the past? I've been poking 
around in forums and found that baloo can be a problem at times, but not a 
way to troubleshoot it. Mostly it seems like people disable it which I do 
not want to do since I use file search a lot.
