Yeah, this is a performance bottleneck in the Gaim backend.  It was one
of the first ones written, and so isn't written particularly well.  The
right thing to do with it would be to use an indexable generator, and
mark the actual log files as indexed so they're not recrawled.  Not a
ton of work, it just needs to be done.

Correct.  It will index as hard as it can and really slow down your
machine.  But it's the fastest way to get everything indexed.
