I installed Gutsy Beta on a Thinkpad X61 today and noticed slow booting and fairly constant disk activity. Yes, top(1) revealed that it was trackerd both eating the CPU *and* hammering my disk -- I was relieved and not too surprised to find this bug report.

trackerd is a pig. If it can't be made an order of magnitude faster it should be disabled by default or (better) outright removed.
