baloo_file does not exit gracefully. If it is indexing files, it does not stop indexing them and needs to be forcibly killed. Eg - #0 0xb778dbe8 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb6d1e4fb in poll () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:84 #2 0xb577e980 in g_poll () from /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0 #3 0xb576ff1c in ??

Mostly fixed with https://cgit.kde.org/baloo.git/commit/?id=d74d1cbb65db03a03d5fdb91681ad906e8f098f8. Now the baloo_file processes will kill themselves after they've completed their current tasks.
