2011 MBP and Lion

Does anyone else's CPU and fans go full load when Spotlight is indexing with Lion? Or when installing XCode?

I wish that GFXstatus worked in Lion, i have a feeling that my ATi card is stuck on.

I don't have these problems with 10.6. I feel this new Dev2 has fixed most of the appearance bugs that I noticed, but it introduced a LOT of performance bugs.

GFXstatus works for the most part. Spotlight indexing was fixed for me after a reboot. I had a suspicion my 11 day time to index was wrong
Edited to say, GFXstatus works on late 2010 MBP for me, not early 2011.

Mine indexed in about 3hrs, then on reboot started indexing again. Both times taking 83% of my CPU.

Ouch. I'd report that then. I read on the Dev forum about it, but a re-boot fixed most last time I read.

Mine started to do that as well. Stop the indexing on the all volumes with
sudo mdutil -a -i off

then restart sudo mdutil -a -i on

It will report that it will take 48 hours but will finish in 15 min usually. I have had to do this twice. There are several posts on the Dev forums about it.
