Comment 1 for bug 538673

I am also affected from a similar behaviour.
I notice this behaviour of tracker-extract reproducibly after login (into the gnome desktop).
If I react quickly after the windows are setup and start directly a terminal with top sorted by memory consum, I notice that it is tracker-extract who is the "top scorer", that means. on my machine it consumes all of my memory. mouse pointer does not move, system monitor in panel does not refresh. This lasts some time and when tracker-extract terminates, the situation calms down. after some 3 minutes same behaviour. when this has passed I can work normally with the system. as I already mentioned: reproducible behavior after every login.

I use Ubuntu (10.10/maverick, beta, updated today 05.10.10) 64bit.
