Incidentally, fulltext index building is *much* slower in MySQL 3.x
than it is in 4.x. If you're running 3.x because that's what your Linux
distribution shipped, I highly recommend upgrading to 4.0.22 and using
that instead. (Avoid 4.1 unless you really need it; it's broken
backwards compatibility for a number of things and there are some nasty
pitfalls.)
If you're already running 4.x, well, take heart. It would be *even
worse* on 3.x. ;)
