I understand that it searches every page. The site has 2300 pages. It takes about 70 
seconds to search for a single word. The pages and the application are on a ram disk, 
so even if swiki doesn't load them into ram, they are there anyway. 2300/70 = 30 pages 
per second. The server isn't doing anything else, and it's a 200mhz machine (not new, 
but not decrepit either). 30 pages per second seems slow to me, even without building 
an index.

I know I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth, here. I think Swiki is great, and I'm 
glad to have it. I'm just hoping I can make it faster without having to buy a new 
machine ;-)
