I don't know if having Nepomuk takes up system resources. I'm not an 
expert on the several backends that Strigi/nepomuk apparently supports 
or their relative performance impacts.
Frankly, I find the 'rate your files' feature quite pointless, unless 
it's for some specific application (a music/photo management app, for 
example). I think it'd be safe to assume that more users would want to 
search & locate their files than 'rate' them.

So, is Strigi a product/feature on it's own or is it a minion of 
Nepomuk-KDE?
