I recommend <a href="http://4sysops.com/archives/how-to-disable-vista%E2%80%99s-desktop-search-indexing-windows-search/" rel="nofollow">turning it off</a>.

My system runs 10-15% faster under XP than Vista (even with the 1st beta SP1 release). The hardware is more than adequate, Quad core, 4GB, 512MB video card. Vista just does *something else* Disk i/o is a real issue too. I've measured XP at 200% faster on unarchiving operations (lots of little files). The days are long gone where the system should take that kind of performance hit for a new OS. Each release of your favorite linux gets better, each release of OSX gets faster....
