So, I created a new branch for the issue: miner-fs-merge-updates

I couldn't use your patch, as it was not aligned with master, so I
rewrote it with some additional things, you can check it here:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/tracker/commit/?h=miner-fs-merge-updates&id=6968eb9a818b5f2341c0da5888cfcd399f5aa75d


Tried it in several scenarios, and saw a real improvement in the initial
crawling and indexing (from ~40s to ~28.5s), around 25% faster.

One of the drawbacks seems to be that if the merged sparql update fails,
several inserts for different files will be failing, instead of just for
one file. We're discussing the issue already, and will try to find the
best solution.

Cheers and thanks for the patch!
