I don't recall ever starting beagled,

Is it now a standard part of Fedora?
Is it mandatory to run it?
What exactly does it do?
"man beagled" says it is "a system for searching
and managing your personal information space",
which I don't find very informative, or convincing.
Remove it if you value your cpu cycles its a resource hog, I'd also ditch the
mono-core it sits on too and all its dependants YMMV.
So to answer your question no.
