Please look at this video:

is the use-case you are having really a bug? Beagle has to index files
in order to make desktop search possible. Every process that actually
does something uses 100% of the cpu - only issue is how well it plays
with the desktiop. Beagle should be running a high NICE so it shouldn't
impact your desktop experience while it indexes files...
To me your experience with beagle just shows that beagle is working and
it doesn't show that beagle is buggy and kills your system.
