Comment 12 for bug 353008

I have some older hardware (Core 2 Duo 1.5) and unless I disable tracker, the computer is unusable. CPU 100%, CPU temps up to 85C. With it disabled, CPU idles at 47 and the old laptop is, at least, useful for light browsing, email, etc. Using Gnome shell. I have no clue what it is doing, but it thrashes for hours or until the CPU temps out. I did not notice this with 12.04, but with later versions it seems to be worse.
