man-db runs a cronjob daily. Every time this cronjob runs, it causes very high system load for about 5 minutes (this is longer than updatedb). Does it really have to run daily? If so, is it really normal that it causes such high load? I would hope not. Can this please be fixed, it is very annoying.
You can remove the cronjob; its of no use imho.
According to the developer of man-db, the cronjob is only neccesary for whatis and apropos. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9130 I removed it, it just about kills my netbook...
