While this is normal behaviour, i found out that shortly after the indexing update started, findutils is using 100% of CPU resources (Haswell Pentium G3258), all of my system's memory (8GB RAM) and some of the swap, rendering the system completely unusable. Issueing the command 'ps ax | grep find' results in: 29729 ? SN 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/updatedb.findutils 29737 ? SN 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/updatedb.findutils 29758 ?
