I think the simple workaround is to uninstall it if you don't need it:
sudo apt-get purge apt-xapian-index
Getting it to play more nicely could be difficult; it already uses both
nice and ionice from what I can see.
A default install of Lubuntu 12.04 (as of the 2012-03-23 daily build)
does not install apt-xapian-index, so this issue should not happen in
Lubuntu 12.04, unless people explicitly *choose* to install that
package.

Title:
update-apt-xapian-index bogs down system
Status in Apt Xapian Index:
New
Status in “apt-xapian-index” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: apt-xapian-index
This is related to bug 363695 but is not a dupe - that has been
"fixed".
every time the update-apt-xapian-index occurs, the system crawls.
Possibly related to the I/O responsiveness bug of bug 131094.
The process is extremely intrusive, taking simple things such as flash
video and throwing the performance down the toilet.
While this apport bug was collected via a Lucid machine this also
affects maverick.
