I'm in a bind with this - I ctrl-C camlistored and the kvIndexFile became 
corrupted (how do I cleanly stop it?) & re-indexing is taking days.
This is 40GB of blobs on an external non-ssd drive. A previous experiment 
on my internal SSD with a store of 60gb takes less than a minute.

I'd like to start over on SSD, but this is going to be a large store. 
Losing the index isn't supposed to be a serious problem, but if I can't 
recalculate it in a reasonable amount of time then it is a problem. Maybe a 
mysql index would be safer, but I still have the problem of the slow 
initial import.
