No. The fonts are activated as part of the PDF parsing process; Apple seems to delay some work until each page is "read," but searching forces it to happen immediately. It would be interesting to try creating thumbnails of all pages immediately, since that should cause the same problem.
I should point out that this ATSServer process is only starting to use the CPU when I do the first search. Before that, everything is ok. The problem is that the first search takes ages and it kills for me the ability to quickly open a pdf an look for something int it if the pdf is quite big (which most pdf in which I search are)
After ATSServer caches the fonts, access should be faster. ATSServer is shared among all applications, too, so there can be contention for its resources (aside from communication overhead).
