Bug Description
Binary package hint: tracker
As I use anacron (as AFAIK most Ubuntu users), the cron jobs due are started on boot. So directly after login, tracker and disk-io-heavy cronjobs like updatedb run concurrently (literally) making ugly disk head noise, and there's not much of the I/O capacity left for foreground jobs.
A nice feature for tracker would be to have a list of "stopper processes", and it should suspend any indexing activity while these processes run. (Or even better, replace (s)locate with tracker as soon as tracker is stable enough).
Ciao
