It took Spotlight TWO DAYS to index my HDs.
And today, Spotlight has been chunking along,
trying to catch up with things, makeing disk
noises every time the screen saver / slideshow
kicks in. For hours.
If you have any better evidence for your claim
that the maintenance tasks running in the

excessive hard drive usage, I would be pleased
to learn about it.

An hour ago, I kicked the weekly maintance task
