My IntelliJ 13.1.5 constantly indexes my project which really slows my machine down. It does it when I rebuild my project as well as when I start my jetty server. Does anybody know how to disable or at least limit that behavior? The previous version didn't do that so often.

Actually, I found what was wrong. Once of my modules didn't have the target folder excluded and that was causing IntelliJ to always index and since that module is big it would take forever to index it.

Solution: Go to "Project Structure" -> "Modules" and excluded all target folders.
