Many have. The results are not good. Howard Melman's advice from his QS user manual <http://mysite.verizon.net/hmelman/Quicksilver.pdf> is good and should be followed:
"Do not just create copies of the sources that scan to infinite depth. This will probably cause Quicksilver to use a lot of memory and a large percentage of the CPU to scan the en- tire drive every few minutes. Instead only scan the folders that are really used. Don’t scan the Home folder more than one level down. ~/Library/ will probably just clog the Catalog with many unused items, and ~/Music/ and ~/Pictures/ are better scanned with the iTunes and iPhoto plug-ins."
