Did I say slow? Expensive is what I really meant. I started indexing my
main list 20 hrs ago, and it's still running. This is on an Athlon 950 pc
with Linux. It's using nearly 400 MB of memory (ram & swap) and climbing.
This is an archive with just under 45,000 messages. 

Wrong tool for the job, I'd guess. :-) Time to try another indexer. Not
sure I want to deal with swish++'s attitude though...

Anyone have a recipe for a different local search engine w/mailman?

Thanks!
