Forgive the intrusion but would it be worth looking at how beagle and tracker achieve their fast, real time indexing? I have been reading and playing around with them for a while and they way they manage to handle what they do in real-time is quite amazing really... Beagle: http://beagle-project.org/Main_Page Tracker: http://www.gnome.org/projects/tracker/ Sorry for the noise if this is completely off!
