Htop view of memory usage

Hi I am using arch based linux. I am having issue with baloo consuming all memory and swap.
After I have done a clean install and installed nextcloud dektop client all is ok.
After I start nextcloud (can be days latter) baloo goes all out and uses all memory. If I uninstall nextcloud baloo continues to drain all memory. I have tried this on a couple of Arch based distros "Krevenge and Antergos" with the same result. Not sure if this is baloo's or nextclouds fault.
Only solution I have at the moment is to add Indexing-Enabled=false to baloofilerc file
Have tried stopping and starting baloo with no result

I have the same issue on kde neon but without using nextcloud. After some time, baloo_file_extractor consumes most of the memory and swap. Also it utilizes one CPU core and whole user interface hangs sometimes for some seconds. When I kill the baloo_file_extractor, everything is fine again.
