That's so cute. "Waste of CPU cycles and [disk] space."
These things are, for all practical purposes now, unlimited. It's nearly impossible to actually waste them.
Generally speaking CPU cycles may be unlimited, I guess. But if I have a measurement application that should do something as close to 'now' as is possible, these indexing apps reek havoc. They never seem to run as 100% nice processes. If they did, you would not know they were running. Since you do notice, they are being less than nice. This is especially a nuisance in systems that get rebooted often. Seems they like to do some resource intensive things when they start. As our systems are in vehicles on the road, they do get powered off/on rather regularly. So we too nuke these features, preferring the unlimited CPU cycles be available to our own applications. Of course, YMWV.
