There should be an option in doing that.  In fact, I suspect running 
slapindex -q can be much more efficient than letting slapd index while 
serving without index.  Of course, slapd cannot serve while 
slapindex'ing, so I think human intervention is needed to determine 
what's most appropriate on a case by case basis.
