Martin,

Im happy to add a performance option to do fast index merges instead of
incremental ones (which currently uses intermittent fsync calls to stop
pdflush hogging the disk but can cause thrashing)

the problem is that ext3 performance when doing lots of alternating
read/writes is horrifically abysmal (probably buggy rather than design
fault) so for best results we recommend mounting ~/.cache  as reiser or
some other fs other than ext2/3
