Problems with Beagle (?)

Hi,
I'm having a little issue, i don't know if it's normal so I'm asking:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
24287 crow      16   0 80672  51m  12m S 17.3  3.4 151:34.93 beagled-helper
 2497 root      15   0 50492  34m 9128 S  1.3  2.2  11:48.84 X
 2575 crow      16   0 75500  42m  12m S  1.0  2.8  55:24.87 beagled

This beagled-helper, is consuming from 0% to 35% of CPU all the time, with 70% peaks, since I installed it around 3 days ago.
What's this beagled-helper? I couldn't find any details googling for it, and why is it consuming so much CPU? I thought beagle was CPU intensive during indexing.

Here some more info, just in case someone is running beagle too, and can compare.

My ps aux output:

crow     26211 45.5  3.3  79720 52380 ?        Sl   13:05   9:39 beagled-helper --debug /usr/lib/beagle/IndexHelper.exe

I think that this is due to the index being built in a slow resources mode, so its taking much more time than it should, and thus its driving me crazy with the *trr trr* hard disk sound every 2 seconds.

I activated this flag:

export BEAGLE_EXERCISE_THE_DOG=1

To give it full throttle. Its been more than 8 hours and it keeps using the cpu between 77 and 90% full time (and the *trr trr* is almost constant).
I'm hoping this will end soon, if not, i will have to turn the damn thing off.

Another thing i noted is this:
Usually if i make a beagle-status i always get one of this two:

[crow@archcrow ~]$ beagle-info --status
Scheduler:
Count: 109444
Status: Waiting for the next trigger time

Pending Tasks:
Scheduler queue is empty.

Future Tasks:
Maintenance 0 (4/24/2006 1:31:24 PM)
Optimize FileSystemIndex
Hold until 4/24/2006 1:41:24 PM

The second:

[crow@archcrow ~]$ beagle-info --status
Scheduler:
Count: 109456
Status: Executing task
Immediate 0 (4/24/2006 1:31:29 PM)
file:///home/crow/az.log



Pending Tasks:
1 Immediate 0 (4/24/2006 1:31:29 PM)
file:///home/crow/az.log

2 Maintenance 100 (4/24/2006 1:31:29 PM)
Final Flush for FileSystemIndex


Future Tasks:
Maintenance 0 (4/24/2006 1:31:29 PM)
Optimize FileSystemIndex
Hold until 4/24/2006 1:41:29 PM

In the end, I don't know if this is indexing files, or optimizing the index.

Does anyone have any experience with Beagle?

if you run beagled --fg, you can follow its indexing and hopefully see when it quits indexing.

You can also run beagle-index-info to see what's being indexed.
