yes that sounds much better

most home folders are indexed in like minutes

speed wise if it takes more than 2 hours I would say its a bug in
tracker :)

size of index is usually no more than 25% of total text size (file size
is irrelevant as only text is indexed) and should be substantially
smaller than GDS (dunno about beagle)

I still need to know what went wrong originally which is a cause of
concern
