Is Beagle slowing Sabayon?

[Shanghaied]

The Gentoo architect blames Beagle for slowing down Sabayon.
How can I get rid of it completely (I don't use it anyway). Unmerge it of course but anything else?
Do programs compiled with "beagle use flag" need to be re-compiled or just remove the flag from make.conf enough (to make sure nothing else pulls it in)? How do I find progs depending on Beagle?
Any other bits of Beagle hiding somewhere?
Thanx in advance!

Kill the beagle!

Yes it will bring your system to a crawl and Yes it seems like programs depend on it. You can use equery depends beagle to see what will pull it back in. I have a feeling it's not an easy thing to get rid of. I just kill the services and tell it to never start up. Future releases will have it disabled.

Anyway, beagle is not enabled unless the user fires up Kerry Beagle (KDE) or Beagle GUI (Gnome) with his/her own hands.

Only three items depend on beagle. I uninstalled beagle and kerry immediately after installing Sabayon v3.4e and have had no problems. It looks like beagle is used in the suse style kicker. I use the old style menu so the absence of beagle doesn't seem to be a problem.

I find if one does a world update it will activate it.

On my system the deletion of beagle has cause nautilus of not being able to start, because it depends on a beagle library. I am reemerging nautilus in the hope to get this solved.

SUSE recently halfed their boot time by removing beagle, turns out no one really uses it or needs it.
