NoOp, if nothing else is running, you would want the indexer to use all CPU available so that it finishes as soon as possible (before you want to use the machine for instance). And full CPU makes the fan spin up for a while, that is just healthy (although I admit I hate to hear the fan spin up when I am not using the machine myself). Having it running for hours at crippled CPU levels would be even worse.

IMO, apt-xapian-index might be a wonderful software architecture for indexing of meta-data and all that, but it does not belong to the Linux desktop unless it is re-engineered.
