If beagled-helper is pegging one core (and you're not on screensaver),
then you're more likely simply seeing a bug rather than a behavioral
problem.  When you see this happening, send SIGUSR2 to the
beagled-helper process.  That will cause it to print in its log what
file it's working on.  If you email that log
(~/.beagle/Log/current-IndexHelper) or file a bug and attach it, then
we can see exactly what's going on.

If it is just a behavioral problem, you could bump up the various
delay values in Util/Scheduler.cs.  It will probably use the same
amount of CPU, but it will be scattered out over a longer period of
time.
