> Flamegraph for baloo_file_extractor

One thing flamegraphs confuse me - is mdb_get really slow, or is it just called
way too many times?

On my system baloo_file is consuming ~30% of *a* CPU, almost constrantly, but
it has a RES of 16MB and running with NICE 19, so I don't care that much. Its
virtual size is 2.7GB which is mostly mapped file (i.e. don't care) and about
500MB of heap that is apparently swapped out - and I'm not running out of swap
anytime soon, so I don't care that much either.

When you look at RAM usage, try not to consider VIRT as a meaningful metric -
mapped files don't actually use a significant amount of system resources, and
unless you are running out of swap space or working RAM (i.e. not
buffers/cache), even swapped out heap isn't much of a bother.

500MB of heap is significant and worrying, but shouldn't an immediately problem
for day to day operations on a modern PC.
