How long is it likely to keep running following an upgrade? (Yeah, silly
question because it probably depends on all kinds of imponderables, but
what have other users experienced?)

I seem to recall that it ran for a couple of hours when I moved to karmic.
I upgraded to lucid two days ago, and all four cores are pretty solidly in
use still, and the disk light is still on almost continuously. The (lack
of) responsiveness of the desktop is truly abysmal, so I'm wondering how
much longer this is likely to go on.

I don't like to remove something that KDE seems to expect to be running,
but when it takes 30 seconds just to start a program because the system is
so bogged down, that seems to me have passed the bounds of reasonable
behaviour, so if this is likely to continue much longer, I guess I'll be
switching off nepomuk, even though I very much like the idea of a desktop
search that actually works.
