It certainly lets us copy faster, since we're less I/O bound, which would mean over a given time period, we'd be waiting for I/O to complete less, and doing attribute comparisons more.

Plus, note that if you haven't added the backup drive to the Spotlight preference pane's Privacy tab, Spotlight/mds will be doing a bunch of CPU intensive stuff too.
