Bug Description

Recently beagled is sometimes consuming all available CPU.

Running in debug mode reveals that CPU-hogging occurs when scanning my Thunderbird mails. It also does this quite often so I have to kill beagled (with KILL because in that state it also does not react to TERM)...

So the first bug is that beagle should not use all available CPU while scanning the mails.
The second bug is that it should not scan the mails so often. After all it has inotify support, hasn't it?

Just a small update/note, this is a GSoC 2007 project (rewriting the entire thunderbird backend) so at some point later in the summer this should be fixed by that code.
