SUMMARY
The baloo file index seems to load the whole index file into memory and thus using huge amounts of memory and crippling the system

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Ask baloo to index your files
2. Check the memory usage with top and note the RES use of baloo_file_indexer
   It seems to use a bot more than the size of the index file.
3. Kill it before it use up all of your memory (I killed it at 2.5GB RES usage)

OBSERVED RESULT
Too much memory used

EXPECTED RESULT
An indexer should use a lot less memory
