I've found that the main thing with Spotlight index rebuilding is to leave the computer completely alone while it does this; start the rebuild before you go to bed and let it run overnight.

Yea. What Bruce said. Snow Leopard and newer are a bit more tolerant to the indexiamos interruptous. Tiger is very intolerant. Set yer machine to not sleep that night, to let the index job run to completion.
