How fast does the indexing run? Fast enough to make it sensible to drop
the indices when saving an image and regenerating on a
lazy-initialisation basis?

Is there a filter/adaptor to exclude a (longish) list of 'common' words
yet? It seems to me that an index of emails could sensibly exclude many
words (d00d, l337, h4x0r among them :-) )and it might be useful to have
a separate index for header content. The latter might be small enough to
be useful even on ordinary machines with memory in the 64mb range.
