Tracker - bad for your computer!

I have upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 and in general it is very nice. However, in the quest of being more like Mac OS X, Canonical people has put in this nasty feature call indexing. I don't know if it has been there before but it is certainly more noticeable in the new Ubuntu 10.10 as the CPU fan and hard drive have been gone to over drive!

After I found out what was going on, I decided to remove it for good, and here is how I did it.

apt-get purge tracker-*

Then restart, problem solved (my computer is running a lot faster and quieter!)
