You can send SIGUSR2 to the index-helper to figure out what file is being 
currently indexed. Also, what program is 31822 - as reported by ps ? Other 
than that there is not much to gain by letting it run.

1. What file is this: /data/jennifer_pc/c.bak/Program 
Files/icq/AteBrowser/96201529/cache/icq82F7.TMP ?

Could you run beagle-extract-content on this ? What type of file it is and 
what type of file does beagle-extract-content think it is ?

2. None of the exceptions would cause the CPU problem. One of them is a jpeg 
which the jpeg filter thinks is invalid and the others are archive filter 
errors. There are several bugs in SharpZLib. They fail to recognize a lot of 
valid archives.
