Hello, I experience similar problems, which started after upgrading to wheezy one or two weeks ago. The ~/.cache/tracker and ~/.local directories contained 1,2G and 50M respectively. I deleted them and within a few days they grew back to 1,1G and 37M.
Judging from the ouptut of the 'top' command, tracker did not exhaust memory (2G, no swap) and CPU (dual 2.00GHz). But the IO stress it puts on the machine is enough to render it almost unusable, as for instance even the mouse pointer is sometimes completely frozen. Parallel daily cron jobs started at boot time, for instance running apt-get updates, probably aggravate the IO stress a lot. I am currently having tracker 0.14.0-2.
