I would like to add that limiting baloo to 512M by default is
counter-productive on my desktop PC. With just 512M, it just causes unrelated
pages to go to swap frequently, as there is no "memory+swap" accounting by
default, only "memory". This swap-thrashing affects other apps, such as
firefox.
Here is the "iostat -xm 4" output, the swap is on /dev/zram0:

$ balooctl6 status
Baloo File Indexer is running
Indexer state: Indexing file content
Total files indexed: 1,248,607
Files waiting for content indexing: 233,923
Files failed to index: 0
Current size of index is 4.28 GiB
```
Raising the limit to 5120M resolves the swap-thrashing issue, but it's
obviously not a good idea to give 1/3 of my memory to something not related to
the primary purpose of this PC.
