I missed the explanation of the fulltext implementation. Something like 'Foo With_spaces Bar' and then do a fulltext search for the cats you need? That would be more powerful, and would probably be faster for complex intersections. I'll write an alternative to CategoryIntersections that uses the fulltext schema and run some benchmarks. I expect to have some results by the end of the week.
Aerik Sylvan has already done an implementation of the backend using CLucene. If a front-end could be done in core, with a pluggable backend, that might have the best chance of getting enabled on Wikimedia relatively quickly. MyISAM fulltext is not necessarily going to be fast enough due to the locking.
