As above, we really need to know what's happening with the memory (and the
memory limits) in order to sort these issues.

Seize-up's of a system because of Baloo is normally because it is *not*
constrained by the systemd unit files, on a big and busy system it will be
trying to catch up and *can* squeeze out foreground tasks. What was, of old,
complained about as "hogging the CPU" was most likely fighting for RAM.

With the systemd cap, use "systemctl status --user kde-baloo" to check, Baloo
will live in its small jail. It might have trouble working within 512 MB but
that would impact I/O reads from the index file and potentially swap if
indexing new/changed files. You can adjust the space you give it. It's a
balancing act.

In reality, if you are doing sort of work you are doing, it's best to just
index the filenames (and not filenames and content) and exclude your immediate
workspace - where you are creating, modifying, deleting lots and appending to
large log files.

If you look and see that Baloo is spending a disproportionate amound of time on
some filetypes, let us know, maybe they are worth an exclusion.
