To be clear, it depends what you're doing and what you want to improve.

FTS increases disk space and insert speed. It can improve query times if 
used wisely.

NOTE: Tracker has been optimised to be faster at querying, not 
inserting. It should be noted that you're really playing with a sliding 
scale here. If you increase one you often decrease the other. Likewise, 
if you increase resources (disk, memory, etc), you increase performance. 
We've tried to get this right for the N9 phone and not much has changed 
since then (other than FTS4 is faster and had some improvements over FTS3).
