[Bug 363695] Re: update-apt-xapian-index uses too much CPU and memory

[Mateusz Stachowski]

This is still a problem in 16.04 LTS.

This process uses 100% CPU for a long time and up to 500MB of RAM on my
machine. That's completely unacceptable.

Maybe now when Ubuntu switched to GNOME Software is a good time to add
the --update option to both cron.weekly and cron.daily.

  A background silent update process shouldn't use 98% CPU. It makes
  system sluggish with no visible reason.
