Frankly, I personally don't have a suggestion for anything better. Yes,
it is indeed resource hungry when it's updating, even to the point of
using all of the CPU cycles. However, for some reason I'm able to still
do things like surf, read groups in T-Bird and the like. They run a
little slower, but I can live with it.

Try the incremental updates instead of full updates if you're not doing
that. The former takes much less time than the latter.
