Baloo is the file indexer for KDE. It has little or nothing to do with Akonadi.

True, it’s still quite bad though on older hardware and I’d suggest those with it to turn it off. Not as bad as akonadi though in my experiance. Still let it run on my main pc though as I have the resources to waste

Hmm. Maybe it's all a coincidence. When one of my CPU cores was stuck at 100%, I opened htop and configured it to show kernel threads too. I spotted MariaDB running in the background. I thought "I don't remember installing MariaDB". Went to uninstall it with pacman, which said it's a dependency of Akonadi. After googling, I turned off Search Indexing and CPU usage dropped to zero. I'll keep an eye on it to see if the problem comes back.
