Nepomuk *should* not be a problem - strigi is the indexer, and is where
the resource hog could be expected.  AIUI, Strigi indexes the
directories that you give access to, and Nepomuk allows all
Ankonadi-aware applications to draw on the information in the databases.
 Of course this is not a complete description, but until someone comes
up with a better one....
