Degraded Mac OS X performance with Bootcamp partition
If you have a bootcamp partition on your Mac, you may notice degraded performance on Mac OS X. This could be because spotlight tries to index the bootcamp partition.

System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy then either click the '+' sign and add your Bootcamp partition, or, if your Bootcamp Partition is visible on your desktop, just drag it into the Privacy section.
