sorry it took me a couple of months to carve out some time to experiment.

I created a corpus of 1M tiny docs. Then I ran the query:

 % swish-e -w 'a or (not a)'

which should return all the docs in the index:

# SWISH format: 2.5.8
# Search words: a or ( not a )
# Removed stopwords:
# Number of hits: 1000000
# Search time: 0.410 seconds
# Run time: 0.416 seconds

so yes, I expect that the more hits you get, the longer it will take to iterate
over them all and calculate a rank for each.
