Dan,
I seriously believe that something must be wrong with your PB. I
nurse quite a number of macs and have never seen periodic/weekly take
more than 15 minutes, no matter how old they were or how long time it
was since the last running.
Have you checked the drive with TechTool or similar lately?
Kind regards,
Kim

In your opinion.
during normal idle periods though, and should therefore not lead
to any noises.
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 background when the user is idle
leads to excessive hard drive usage, I would be pleased to learn
about it.
"Evidence"?
An hour ago, I kicked the weekly maintance task on our PB. It's
*still* running.
