Getting rid of it probably won't save any power - unless you have something that creates, changes and deletes files at a very high rate, or if you're indexing temporary file directories etc. Nor will it change performance unless you've bumped its priority higher than 4.
You will lose the search functionality in Windows Explorer and probably in the Start menu.
Peter T - many iFilters are written by 3rd parties rather than MS. I suspect the reason there aren't any for the popular ebook formats is because they're mainly used for fiction and there's not much demand to content search fiction.
IFilters are available for CHM and DjVu and PDF (there's too many of those). Now that Foxit charges for its PDF iFilter it could do itself a favour by bundling epub and mobi iFilters into the product at the same price.
