Are we sure this is a good idea?

I mean, it could be interesting slow down trackerd if I'm writing and I
want a responsive OO.o Writer UI, or I'm watching a movie and I don't
want to miss a frame, but pause trackerd at any mouse/keyboard gesture
seems too much...

Usually, when I'm in front of my PC, I move the mouse or hit the
keyboard all the time: do this mean that my files will never indexed? 

OK, I'm exaggerating, but I hope this pause feature will not applied to
first index creation, or will be a pain...
