Not my experience at all. I've never noticed my Spotlight indexing, except for when I've upgraded the OS. Items also come up very easily for me. I mostly use it to launch apps and it finds those for me with very few keystrokes. Maybe 1-2 gets me to the apps I use the most. For documents, it works well for me too, but not as good as the apps.
