On my 2,9Ghz dualcore this generally doesn't cause problems, however,
I'm typing this message on a Pentium 3 laptop with lucid. 850Mhz, 384MB
RAM minus some for integrated video, which also ruins RAM performance.
You don't want update-apt-xapian-index on this machine.

Maybe it would be an idea to check the system before running. Anything
that either has a high load, has a clockspeed under 1Ghz or is an Atom
and anything <1GB RAM is probably better off without this process and
that's fairly easy to detect, isn't it?
