34 Well, in 4.3.x I eliminated it after the first try, because it took so many
35 resources of my machine, that I could not use it for something else. So, you
36 mean, in 4.4.x it takes only a 10% of the resources it took with 4.3.x? LOL,
37 although I really like the idea of the semantic desktop, I rather have a
38 usable machine ...
