Bralam's comment is irrelevant.

I just encountered the problem with LUbuntu 13.10 32-bit, after installing "Ubuntu Software Center". I then replicated on Ubuntu 13.10 32-bit.

System stats once "update-apt-xapian-index" begins: 99% CPU usage on FOUR CORES with 257MB of memory used by the process which renders the system completely unusable.

I'm seriously tempted to just re-write the entire program and push it all upstream for the sake of the community. This is RIDICULOUS! FIVE YEARS after the bug was noted and there is NO fix outside of simply *not using it*.

You're driving people away from Ubuntu by not fixing this.
