Nepomuk/Strigi : extreme memory consumption

Hi everyone :-)

First : thanks to the community & KDE developers for all the amazing work !

Now : I've been attempting to use Nepomuk/Strigi for some time, but I always end up disabling them.

Indeed : even though I do choose a memory limit in the system configuration, the virtuoso and nepomuk processes, after a little while, literally eat all my RAM. Well, not all because I usually stop them before it occurs, but something like 1 or 2 GB of RAM even if I chose a 128 MB limit for instance.

Also, KDE startup time is significantly longer, a lot of CPU is eaten (less than before) and indexing never seem to end.

I'm using cutting-edge Archlinux packages (w/ KDE 4.6.5), but I usually try Nepomuk+Strigi every 6 months and always come to the same conclusion.

Do you guys have a similar experience ? How may I help fix this ?
Cheers !!

Edit : I'm restarting the services now and will update my post to give more accurate figures and processes names ;)

So : after leaving nepomuk + strigi enabled for a day : virtuoso-t is eating 440MB and nepomukservices 150MB+35MB+some smaller amounts.

My limit was set to 260MB (and during the first hours, before I left, the mem footprint of virtuoso-t remained 360MB for a while)

I'm unable to see this issue with openSUSE and 4.7 RC2. I'd say that some issues on virtuoso-t lie in Soprano, that can make virtuoso go awry.

As far as I can understand, the Nepomuk guys are planning to get away from Soprano in 4.8.

I recently decided to switch to OpenSUSE to get a more "stable" base to test KDE on and report bugs in a more reliable way. Time will tell !

Thanks for the reply BTW !
