Hi Nic.

How did you measure indexing? Best is to look in the log file. For indexing there should be lines like this:
------------
Wed Nov  4 07:46:43 2009 DEBUG [MacSword] [SwordSearching -createIndexAndReportTo:] start indexing...
Wed Nov  4 07:46:52 2009 DEBUG [MacSword] [SwordSearching -createIndexAndReportTo:] stopped indexing
------------

Which mark start and finish of index process.
