spotlight: mds, mdworker
The processes 'mds' and 'mdworker' frequently take over my macbook and make it sound like a jet engine about to take off. Clearly this is wasting a lot of battery power...
They are apparently related to spotlight, which I never, ever use. But there are some posts about how disabling spotlight altogether screws up OS X.
Anyone know anything about this?

Can't you open spotlight preferences and exclude your entire hard drive?
Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. So far so good...Thanks.
