Bug Description

Hi,

Ever so often i'm playing an online racing game simulator. When in a race, there is nothing more disturbing than beagled-helper kicking off and the game halting 1 second for every 5 seconds. This makes it totally impossible to drive the car and i have to quit the race to KILL the damn beagle deamon!

Howcome beagled-helper, isn't running in the background with a high nice value? That way it wouldn't interfear with my gaming?

This image shows what i'm talking about. Beagled-helper hogs _ALL_ the CPU every 5 seconds or so, making it impossible to play games or do other "real-time" tasks.
