I have experienced this with Vista. There is a system program called
searchindexer that runs when files are changing in Vista. It often
takes up to 50% of the cpu time when Delphi compiles or a program
tries to install, etc. Anything that creates more than a few files
triggers it to run and the only way you can kill it is with the
Windows Task Manager. You have to kill it three times. If you kill
it once, it will restart in about 30 seconds. After you have killed
the 3rd iteration, it will generally wait about 24 hours before it
starts again. If you leave the Windows Task Manager running, you will
see a little box on the right side of the task bar. You can see
SearchIndexer running because it will turn the box bright green about
3/4 of the way up indicating it is busy indexing files.
