Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt-index-watcher
This daemon takes 100% cpu a fraction of a second every 9 seconds or so. This is very noticeable (and annoying) when using cpu-intensive multimedia applications, such some jack apps or some video players. The new (propietary) flash player 9 beta plugin is specially sensible with this.
This daemon and its children processes should run at minium priority, or make a better workaround (possible solution as far as I understand it: rebuilding the apt-front indexes each time apt/aptitude terminates and apt package index have changed).
