Hmm i think "fast" has to bee seen relativly in this circumstance. 
Beagle for me starts always with checking my gaim logs. and noW after 
running for more than a hour, it's still checking gaim logs.
ok gaim has a total of 37 mb of logs in 5086 files, but i don't know if 
you see this as fast ...
Btw i'm running beagle with export BEAGLE_EXERCISE_THE_DOG=1, so it 
shouldn't take care of the load of my pc, right?
and maybe you can tell me if there is something wrong, or if it's ok 
that way.
anyway this shouldn't be a complain :)
