[Bug 655831] Re: update-apt-xapian-index bogs down system

[Anoop]

I purged this package and found no problems with Synaptic or Software
Centre. However the update-apt-xapi process always used to cause my
(single core Intel Celeron) computer to run so slowly as to be unusable
(on Ubuntu 11.10).

I think this package should not be included in the default installation
as it does not seem to provide any benefit.

Title:
  update-apt-xapian-index bogs down system

Status in Apt Xapian Index:
  New
Status in “apt-xapian-index” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt-xapian-index

  This is related to bug 363695 but is not a dupe - that has been
  "fixed".

  every time the update-apt-xapian-index occurs, the system crawls.
  Possibly related to the I/O responsiveness bug of bug 131094.

  The process is extremely intrusive, taking simple things such as flash
  video and throwing the performance down the toilet.

  While this apport bug was collected via a Lucid machine this also
  affects maverick.
