Kubuntu 12.10, KDE 4.9.4 fresh install on a 240GB Intel 520 SSD

I have installed a new 4TB data drive in my system today and started transferring files from my old (1TB) drive onto it, using rsync. Note: the new drive is mounted as /disk/; my old drive is mounted under /mnt/. None of the filesystems involved has any relation to my /home partition. All through the file transferring process, virtuosi-t process keeps eating 15-50% of CPU and iotop shows enormous amounts of disk I/O generated by 6-16 copies of virtuosi-t process run in parallel. The desktop is occasionally completely locked up for 1-2 seconds and unresponsive otherwise.

File indexing is configured to include only a handful of subdirectories under my /home directory. Still, virtuoso-t keeps trashing disk I/O subsystem during any file transfers, regardless of whether their source/target is withing the directories configured for indexing or not.

I consider this as a very serious and extremely annoying bug.
