Another variable to factor in, right?

Probably a configuration problem, top-posting, failure to provide
details, didn't show any attempts at debugging.  You know, common user error.

You say that, but I'm not sure.  That's not a valid config file.  You
don't show anything that indicates you used that config file.  600 files
in 70 minutes?  delay_sec is zero?

Yes, do some debugging.  I can't debug for you because you don't give
any specifics.  Maybe you are indexing a web site of 600 gzipped files
that swish-e will index but htdig will ignore?  Do you even know if
htdig is indexing the same files?  What do you mean that htdig and
swish-e are using the same settings?

You have to show all your relevant work or I will not be able to 
offer any help.
