I have to use Windows for work and I never see Everything take any CPU ever, even when I have to compile (maybe not a million files though). It's all asynchronous so builds aren't slowed down, indexing happens in the background but never takes long and when you need it it's all there because as you said you don't need to search for files every second. So, in practice, it works.
