I didn't kill mine (I'm not sure if that's wise), but it's easy to disable
in the future: go to the /etc/cron.daily directory and delete or move the
file buildSearchIndex.pl.

After loading up a gig of data on the Qube I had the same messages every
night; since I've disable the indexing I'm fine.

I also suspect that some more RAM would help (I've only got 16MB), but I'm
not sure.

I have no idea.
