Yeah, absolutely insane to use an ECMA-standardized VM and large swathes of completely NON Microsoft Free Software APIs and libraries written on that VM when you can instead do it in C/C++ (except it'll take you 5 times as long) or in Python (except the VM changes ABI every release, plus its slow) or in Java (which is the same thing as Mono/.NET, except with s/Microsoft/Sun/).

I don't care about ECMA or VM or C/C++ or whatever acronyms you want to
mention. What I care about is that on my openSUSE laptop, I regularly had
a very sluggish system due to beagled and the zend running. This was
really a horrible decision from a user's point of view.

P.S.: Anyone knows the cleanest way to shut off beagle entirely?

The cleanest way:
rpm -qa | grep mono | xargs rpm -e beagle tomboy
This was tested on Fedora, maybe SuSE has more dependencies.

yum remove tomboy beagle

should also work and is less hackish
