Hi Sriram, You may want to try adding your source tree to Spotlight's privacy list, otherwise it's busy trying to index files as fast as the build is writing them. If you are (un)fortunate enough to be running anti-virus sw, then it too is scurrying along behind your build checking every file. That's enough to turn a normally silent MBP into a hair dryer.
If you don't want to omit the entire project, because perhaps you want to use mdfind, then you can rename dirs to end with ".noindex". The trick/hack is you can symlink the original dir name to the renamed dir.noindex. But yes, I think the build is way to slow to be productive when used as intended. The fact that people have to use custom tricks to build & test in a "reasonable" amount of time is a symptom of a problem...
