I have the same high-processor usage while idle problem with beagled, (so not the beagled-helper initial index problem). It's also on a laptop and it's annoying.
I don't think this can really be as designed as joeshaw said, because unticking *all* the boxes about indexing services, so that really it shouldn't be doing anything, CPU still shoots up when idle. Only killing beagled allows me to have a quiet-running laptop overnight.
