That is the status. This means it is indexing but slowly because it has
detected user activity. Leave if for a minute without moving the mouse and
it will switch to "Indexing in progress", and then eventually to something
like "Index is up to date".
However, it might be easier to use TaskManager {elevated} and look at the
CPU of all SearchIndexer / SearchProtocolHost / SearchFilterHost processes
to see if they are loading your system.
However however, as soon as you start using the mouse of keboard the indexer
reduces its activity so I would doubt that it would be causing a performance
problem.
