Wouldn't it be possible to separate the index creation form the  filter and
the classification.  Run the index creation ones every 15min and use it as
an input for some of the bow programs from cmu for classification in a rule.
I guess that will do the trick, I haven't used an external rule pgm but if
that doesn't work writing a rule extension using libbow shouldn't be that 
difficult either.
