Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt-index-watcher
Hi,
I upgraded my dapper do edgy. And now I was wondering what was making so much "trouble" on the system now: On my ksysguard Graphs I can see lots of nice/user cpu power used every few seconds and memory usage going up and down every few seconds. Then I stoppen apt-index-watcher and everything was OK again...
Perhaps it would be OK to just stop it doing its job that often? I guess once an hour or twice a day would be enough... not?

I can confirm this with apt-index-watcher 0.3.9ubuntu4. Every couple of seconds two processes like
6927 ? S 0:00 sh -c /usr/sbin/ apt-index- watcher run --syslog apt-index- watcher run --syslog
6928 ? R 0:02 /usr/sbin/
use all available cpu power.
