It would be great to track that down. I've been trying to use `auditd` to do
this by creating a custom watch rule in
`/etc/audit/rules.d/baloorcwatch.rules`:

```
-w /home/mark/.config/baloofilerc -p wa
```

So far, it's a toss-up between `balooctl` and `systemsettings`. I haven't had
the time to properly decode the auditd logs to see which one is the culprit at
this stage.

Yes, the exclusions are retained, so something else is doing this.

You can't (unfortunately for me) claim a monopoly in that department :-)

Yes, that is odd. I can confirm that after correctly excluding the snapshots,
baloo_file still consumes quite a bit of CPU when things get busy on the
filesystem, but it is nowhere near as debilitating now that the snapshots are
excluded from its ambit. I can now safely leave it enabled.
