I was having performance problems, and I discovered that tracker was churning through my filesystem. This is an infeasible task for it, as it contains an extremely large number of files.

How do I disable it?

in the end, after ahving tried all this I just got rid of it by disabling the dbus scripts that launch tracker in /usr/share/dbus-1/services. Just remove or rename the files in there with tracker1 in it.
