when you are looking for an email message (for example) by content, rather than file name or date, it is very useful. I *have* to keep all my work related email messages, so finding a specific one in the thousands I have on my machine would be a huge chore.
Yes, it is much quicker to find stuff though obviously has an overhead because of the indexing. With a pretty new machine with 2Gb ram, I'm really not struggling for system resources though.
