I don't think this is accurate. I say pretty clearly in an earlier comment [1] the info that we need to be able to diagnose the problem. Without log data, there's nothing we can do. I believe you when you say it uses 100% CPU -- but top output isn't helpful. We need help from bug reporters.

This has been ongoing work, and isn't as simple as fixing a one-liner and having the problem go away forever. Beagle is software which effectively has to be able to read and comprehend every piece of data on your system -- a difficult task and one with a lot of "surface area" and potential for failures. I'm not sure what version is in Gutsy, but 0.2.18 is better than ever with these and 0.3.0, which will be released soon, improves further.
