Nepomuk is used in Akonadi to index the PIM data, like mails, contacts and
calendar entries.
Applications which are ported to Akonadi use Nepomuk for searching. That
includes traditional search and virtual folders, but also looking up e.g.
contacts by email address or by nickname.

Additionally, Nepomuk is used for tagging and annotating mails in KMail 2.

You can completely disable Strigi file indexing, which seems to be the most
problematic in terms of performance. Akonadi will index its PIM data
independently from Strigi.

Do not try a patch that disables Nepomuk in Akonadi, it will break applications
in random ways, for example sending to distribution lists, looking up crypto
preferences of contacts, or displaying contact photos in the message viewer
will stop working. KMail will _not_ work correctly with Nepomuk disabled, it is
just not obvious at the first glance.
I don't think the Gentoo people are aware of this.
