Bug Description

Upon startup beagled and beagled-helper take over the CPU and the machine becomes completely unresponsive. Re-nicing both to 19 alleviates but doesn't solve the problem. Eventually, load gets so high I have to kill both processes, hence this crash.

This could be aleviated if there were a way to tell Beagle not to index some mailboxes/folders like you can with Evolution.

It seems it is acting up because of the Thunderbird subsystem and the way it indexes the messages. I have a couple huge mailboxes here and there is, seemingly, no way to tell Beagle not to touch certain accounts and folders.
