kdepim is using nepomuk in ways it is not meant for, and expecting response 
time and performabce beoynd what is possible from it. Personally, I have come 
to the conslusion that if I want to use kdepim, I can not have nepomuk 
enabled, at this time.

The consequences are for me that I can not use nepomuk where it works - for 
general file search, tagging and connecting, and also searching in emails is 
of course not possible.

I only use kdepim because I can not find a suitable replacement that runs well 
in KDE.

The good thing is that the kdepim and nepomuk developers are now starting to 
realize that these problems exist, and try to solve some of them, so there may 
be a release some time in the future where we can use our computers with 
nepomuk and kdepim.
