It's (currently) a half-gigabyte index that gets indexed in realtime (once per
minute).

How long does it take to generate the index? Can you subdivide the index
at all (and do something like backup where you have incremental indices
plus once a day or once an hour regenerate the complete index)? If some
sort of incremental index was used, could you gain anything by not
running it until a search is done? Just some thoughts but probably not
all applicable depending on how it's done.
