I agree. Akonadi_nepomuk is a monster and is not suitable with an old PC or a 
laptop running on battery. 
It is a kind of "enhancement" which increases the complexity, make the system 
very difficult to understand and to repair in case of troubles. It gives a 
feeling of an unreliable complicated system.

This must be an optional software, it can be installed but not activated by 
default.
