On any given machine, indexing code quickly reaches it's maximum speed. Enterprise DB's are much slower because they have to be concerned with much more than just simple indexing. I know for a fact that my indexes are as fast or faster than any widely used software DB on the same hardware.
Optimization on DB's is done at a higher level than an index in any case.
