1) 2.1.0rc1 is 'released' and you can try it already (and all of the bX releases are also perfectly stable for running)
2) bzr-search generates lots-and-lots of tiny indexes based on various rules. Robert showed me a callgrind which had 150k indexes. If your total search index size is < 585MB then on average all of those indexes are going to be smaller than a page, which is addressed by the 2.1 change.

I can see where you may want to turn of auto-indexing, which can certainly be a feature request, but I think you'll find it shouldn't cause the same level of interruption in 2.1.

I suppose the other factor is that bzr-search is deciding that it needs to 'compact' its indices (combine existing ones into a whole new set). You may want to disable that specifically instead.
