Nepomuk and Strigi are one of the first things I shut down when I install a 
fresh Fedora with KDE. On every login they would start indexing the "desktop" 
or whatever (I have nothing bar two default icons in my Desktop folder), and 
then the virtuoso binary would start eating my CPU time for half-a-minute, 
before finally settling down. And I see absolutely no (obvious) use of all that 
on my machine.

So I shut them down, and never missed them since. :-) Though I am curious to 
know what would be their practical purpose (some reasonable usecase)...

HTH, :-)
