This kind of index is more efficient to do as soon as something new appears,
as opposed to a kind of index where content changes periodically and
reindexing is a painful hit. It's not the indexing that's currently the
bottleneck -- it's the way the query interpreter uses the data from the index
that's the bottleneck.
