Yep, I now know this, and have since rpm -e'd beagle into oblivion --
I've never really cared enough to use it (I run OS X too, and never use
spotlight). But before I nuked beagle, with it running in conjunction
with cfs, it was nowhere near as bad as prior to cfs, so at least in my
single use case, empirical evidence says cfs is good. :)
