Great!

You mean what you gain by enabling Spotlight indexing? There are 3 
advantages and if you don't need any of them then I recommend disabling 
it (in the General preferences pane):

1. When you use Spotlight (or the Finder) to do a search then emails in 
MailMate are included in the results.
2. If you have exported emails from MailMate (drag'n'drop or the Export 
rule action) then these can be searched using Spotlight (depending on 
where they are saved). This works even if Spotlight indexing is disabled 
in MailMate itself.
3. Other applications can use Spotlight to search for emails including 
those in MailMate. (There might be an interesting example of that fairly 
soon.)
