Indeed.
Although the mail indexer certainly has the *potential* to slow things down as 
well (in the past at least, should be much better nowadays of course).

It can be uninstalled too though, it's the package akonadi-search. (indexed 
search and related features will of course cease to work then, but it may be 
worth a try as a temporary measure)

It *may* be also worth a try to delete the search index, it may be in 
~/.local/share/baloo/ (the sub folders *except* "file", which contains the 
file search index obviously), or ~/.local/share/akonadi/searchdb/.
Which one is used depends on your system, akonadi-search reuses the first one 
if it exists (for "compatibility" with older versions), but creates the latter 
one if the first isn't there.

I do remember discussions about problems after Xapian updates, where this 
"fixed" them, although IIRC that was mostly about crashes.

And, that can only help if your problem is indeed related to *indexing* of 
course, not Akonadi itself.

Kind Regards,
Wolfgang
