After going through the process of rebuilding my index (again), things
seem to be more stable (for now). I understand that designing software around a
contingency like this might not be the best practice, but the frequency
with which I've needed to rebuild really does make me think that ruby
isn't the best language for the indexer.

This is easily the fifth time I've needed to rebuild and each time it
has taken over 30 minutes for 1.5 GB of mail. That's substantially less than
1MB/second for what should be an I/O bound operation. Ouch. It'll be
really interesting to see how Carl's work comes out.
