To modify Indexing Service performance
1.. Open Computer Management.
2.. In the console tree, click Indexing Service.
Where?
a.. Computer Management
b.. Services and Applications
c.. Indexing Service
3.. On the Action menu, click Stop.
4.. On the Action menu, point to All Tasks, and then click Tune Performance.
5.. In the Indexing Service Usage dialog box, select the option that best fits the way Indexing Service is used on your computer.
6.. If you selected Customize, click the Customize button and proceed to Step 8. If you did not select Customize, skip to Step 11.
7.. In the Desired Performance dialog box, move the Indexing slider to Lazy for less immediate indexing or to Instant for immediate indexing of new and changed documents. Lazy indexing uses fewer resources; Instant indexing uses as much of the computer's resources as it can.
8.. Move the Querying slider to Low load if you expect to process only a few queries at a time or to High load if you expect to process many queries at a time. Low load uses fewer resources; high load uses more.
9.. Close the Desired Performance dialog box.
10.. Close the Indexing Service Usage dialog box and restart Indexing Service
