Not custom, but the standard cronjob set up by the packages in
/etc/cron.d/koha-common was enabled: 

*/5 * * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/koha-rebuild-zebra && koha-rebuild-zebra -q
$(koha-list --enabled)

I just tried commenting out this, setting USE_INDEXER_DAEMON="yes" and
rebooting, and load, memory usage and swap went through the roof pretty
instantly after the reboot. 

I am fine with WORKSFORME - as I said, a server with this many instances is
probably an edge case.

But, should we at least remove or comment out this:

*/5 * * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/koha-rebuild-zebra && koha-rebuild-zebra -q
$(koha-list --enabled) 

from /etc/cron.d/koha-common (debian/koha-common.cron.d in git) now that the
daemon is activated as default?
