I have. While document.add() itself doesn't increase over time, the merge does. Ways of partially overcoming this include increasing the mergeFactor (but this will increase the number of file handles used), or building blocks of the index in memory and then merging them to disk. This has been discussed before, so you should be able to find additional information on this fairly easily.
This is what I noticed also: adding documents by itself is a fairly benign operation, but anything that triggers an index merge in one form or another is a killer as an index grows in size.
So, overall, adding more documents does slow down the indexing.
At least this is the impression I get. But I would love to be proven wrong on this :)
