Nope. It's a low-priority task that keeps being paused or slowed down 
by the user "stupidly" wanting to do things on their device.

Spotlight is usually one of the main culprits (especially with big 
capacity drives and / or lots of files), but there are others too 
behind-the-scenes of the OS.

Because that was a high-priority task, otherwise you'd be complaining 
your "computer is too slow".

There are lots of things "going on", some with higher priority than others.
