Windows XP Indexing Service

The XP Indexing service tends to make my computer all slow when it starts running so I disabled it. Does it actually do something useful for a normal home user/gamer? Thanks
 
to be blunt, no.

unless you search your computer quite often through large database files or for documents very often, you don't need it. it takes your idle cpu cycles at best, which could be better set to do things like download or virus check. at worst, it slows down computer use. i consider myself a normal student user who writes papers and i have never noticed an improvenment with indexing on, even when i DO need to search. i'm sure it has its uses, but your profile doesn't seem to meet them.
 
That's good. It doesn't seem to take up my idle cpu time, it just starts whenever it wants and when I try to do things it's uber slow and won't stop.
