Thanks for the prompt feedback. Currently I have to do a manual exponential
backoff of switching off baloo and turning it on overnight to do it's
indexing!!!

Given that a "single small document can cause a DB update of several 100
MBytes." might there need to a fresh look given to the underlying data
structure? That seems sub-optimal to me as a user who is struggling with the
indexing processes unintended side-effects.
