I personally barely notice index updates since they don't happen all

For whatever reason, they're intrusive enough that I take notice. I've
even had one recently that took over an hour to update (that's
abnormal, no idea why that took so long).
forgot to reply to that one. What you saw there most likely is some kind
of server side connection throttling. The update segments are relatively
small - so both download and import don't take long under normal
conditions.
(I have seen something like that before during tests when dl dropped
down to a few kb/s, but this doesn't seem to happen very often)
I heard the compute and bandwidth cost for the index upkeep seem to be
high for maven central too and it doesn't scale well in its current
form. So the future for this feature is probably not certain.
I am planning to maintain the indexer in NetBeans as long as remote
indices are still available but probably won't put a lot of energy into
optimizations.
NB 25 might be (finally) able to migrate the index from NB 24 cache though:

It's impactful enough in my environment that I dread it and strive to
avoid it (as I mentioned). If nothing else, it lights the fans up on
my machine. It's just one of those triggering "oh no" things.
If I could easily eliminate it entirely, I'd probably do it (sort of
what I was trying for with the external index updater -- let it run at
3am and take as long as it wants).
I do a lot of "green field" fiddling. PoCs and what not, so I'm
constantly digging into the depths of the Maven repositories.
