Was thinking of installing namazu, but this sounds scary.
But wait a minute, a 368M index from a 111M source? Can't be 386K
either as you have over 836K keywords. Some misprint somewhere?

Wow ! Didn't know  there could be so many keywords, let alone *key*words 
in this whole world :) By the way, namazu homepage mentions:

"Indexing process will take fifty minutes to index 25 MByte files with
Linux Box has Pentium 166 MHz + 64 MB." (sic)

Does the time scale exponentially with data volume?
