I'm sorry ... I'm just an increasingly frustrated user trying to get back to
having a usable PIM. What is an "akonadi agent" and how would I turn them off
individually?

I'm truly sorry, but I didn't expect to need to know any of this stuff just to
maintain calendars and contacts, so please walk me carefully through *exactly*
what I need to do in order to provide some more useful information.

FWIW, I just truned akonadi back on. Instantly the hard drive started
thrashing, and the top five I/O processes are all mysqld processes that have
"akonadi" in their parameter strings.
