What is akonadi? What is baloo? Why does akonadi usually crash on
There's this thing called web search now. I was curious, so I did the search. Here are the results.
Akonadi is a storage service for personal information management data and metadata named after the oracle goddess of justice in Ghana. It is one of the "pillars" behind the KDE SC 4 project, although it is designed to be used in any desktop environment. It is extensible and provides concurrent read, write, and query...

Baloo is the file indexing and file search framework for KDE Plasma, with a focus on providing a very small memory footprint along with with extremely fast searching.

system startup? Why does akonadi or maybe baloo sometimes use 100% of cpu? Why does akonadi or baloo cause a great deal of disk activity?
If akonadi is crashing, it is probably misconfigured. Do you have a configuration file in home that is old, that has come through many upgrades? Try moving it to a backup name, and letting akonadi write a new configuration file on your next reboot.
baloo is indexing, and storing, things so that lookups can be very fast when you are looking for something.
Is there any way to run KDE alarm without akonadi?
Try to remove KDE alarm and see if it wants to remove akonadi. i.e. it has a dependency on it. It might be integrated. You could also try disabling akonadi and see if kde alarm still works. I suspect the answer is no, but I am just guessing.
