Suddenly after a reboot I find between 50-60% of my CPU used. I load process manager and find tracker-store and tracker-extract being the main culprits, with spikes of 90% of cpu usage.

This is a dual-core AMD Opteron server with 2 gigs of RAM.

Who' s the genius who thought this would be acceptable? and how do I tame these processes not to use more than 10% of cpu without uninstalling the whole shebang? (provided those actually serve a useful purpose that I'm not aware of).

Thanks in advance

You could remove these programs. I uninstalled quite a few programs - I can't remember how many - and reinstalled after a freeze. The OS will remove the extra programs and keep the system running. 

Hope this helps.
