Hi Alex. We definitely need to (and will) document this better, but index
build time is not directly proportional to the number of entities in the
datastore but to the number of other applications who are building indexes
at the same time. Since index building is managed by a fixed number of
"workers," your application's indexes will take longer to build if there are
a higher number of applications building indexes. It appears that this
particular issue affected a number other developers earlier in the week.
We'll take a closer look at this problem and how it can be better mitigated
going forward, but it should be fairly uncommon for the most part.
