In my case, I ended up to put the recollindex in the daily jobs of anacron. The problem is that, whatever I do, when recollindex is running I clearly notice "hiccups" (mostly under the second, sometime of a one-two seconds) when doing things that are normally instantaneous. It happens for example when editing (big) files with vim, or accessing/reading mboxes in thunderbird, or a lot of other things.
I do not really think is a problem in recoll, by the way; there must be some locking/delay going on when inotify signals recoll to read the files for indexing, and Linux with ext4 has never been good on parallel disk loads especailly if you have several disks around. I am at a loss trying to debug this thing...
