I'm indexing a very large dataset, the last benchmark I did was 1,8Gb of 
data. Without the -e option my operating system crash, and with -e 
option Swish-e takes 1 hour 55minuts of total indexing time and 12m31s 
of Cpu indexing time (I don`t know exactly how much memory it taked).
I was wondering if with 500Mb of memory, this time would increase 
substantially.

Thanks,
Albert
