One thing you might look at is reducing the size of MAXSTRLEN in swish.h
-- there are loads of strings stored while swish is indexing, most of
which are well below the default size of MAXSTRLEN (1000). Try setting
it to a couple of hundred, and that should significantly reduce memory
usage, even if it still remains a hog.

Anyone for Perl?
