KDE Frameworks 5.60 Bringing More Baloo Optimizations

I have Baloo enabled, and I use it and am happy to have it.
As a longer-term KDE user what annoys me is that for pretty much the same resource utilisation, Baloo produces (in certain edge cases) worse results than Nepomuk - when indeed, the opposite was meant to be true.
Yes, I know the whole semantic search thing is confused by the file system metadata thing, but in general, we still have some distance to go to reach the "dream" of semantic desktop search (and as someone with TB of docs online, I would love that to work).
At some point, I should volunteer some time to work on the indexing - the resource consumption should be far more tunable - including a mode that says "just use everything I have and get it finished already" for things like a new install.

The Windows 10 indexing is pretty fantastic, Baloo on Linux is pretty ok, and tracker on Gnome is better than nothing, but the worst of the three.

Balooctl check run horribly, it enslaves a core and take ages to index... System settings panel lacks almost everything... I ended deciding to build a personal indexing quick made python script to do balooctl index operations as balooctl itself lacks basic control ability.

wolfyrion It definitely grinds quite a lot on a fresh install, so if you have a large $HOME and transfer it often into a new setup I can understand your point perfectly well.

The trick is to actually work on your system and not to permanently install your computer anew ;-) Once the initial indexing is done, you don't notice baloo any more.
I currently have to use Gnome and I really wish tracker would be as lightweight and crashproof as baloo btw.

Baloo is the first thing I kill and disable in ALL KDE Installations , is just a nightmare and slow downs the PC.
