  The external parse program was using 2GB, swish-e took about 750MB RAM.

  under -e mode, swish-e used only up to 150MB, but the external program
was still using 2GB.  The index time was about the same, 3:15.

Elapsed time: 03:15:27 CPU time: 00:-4:-3

  I am glad to find swish-e.  Great search performance, reasonable index
time, cool price (some commercial product quoted me $50K-100K/per CPU).

  Thanks :)
