In my experience the indexer isn't what causes the 100% CPU lockups. 
Synchronization of each folder seems to be the cause.  If I turn off 
synchronization in Properties of all folders the 100% CPU lockups seem 
to go away entirely for me.

Right-click on each folder, Properties, Synchronization, uncheck Select 
this folder for offline use.

The indexer is annoying and I turned it off because after crunching away 
for hours it had indexed only 5% of my mail.
