I did earlier in this thread, I think. My thoughts: even though one may turn off Spotlight via Terminal, some part of it may try to access the hard drive at Startup. Placing the volumes in System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy, may stop this access. Don't know this for sure ... Just guessing here.

So turning off Spotlight may not be overall more efficient.
