Hmm.  Something seems wrong with that.  I have 80MB of mail indexed with
glimpse, and searches take <1 second (on an 4 year old machine, at that.)
Try building a bigger index than the default 'tiny' 2-3% sized index. (I
use 'small' (5-10%), which the -o option to glimpseindex enables, I think,
and there's also 'medium' (20-30%) which is preusmably even faster.
