Turn it off. Advanced... General tab, "Enable global search and indexer", tick 
it off. It can be
gigabytes.

If you need searching and Th. misbehaves, use beagle indexing instead, I think 
it is more reliable
by now. At least cpu-wise.

It simply means that if you search for email's body content, it takes longer. 
Way longer if the
folder is large, or you request many folders


Notice that that is not the only indexing it does. For each local folder it 
keeps an index file
named "folder_name.msf", which is an index of the folder headers. It also keeps 
the read/sent/marked
info. For remote imap folders it also keeps local indexes (so that it can show 
the headers fast). If
you delete them they are recreated. And they can be large: I have about 250 MB 
in the gmail index file.
