how are you searching? with the swish-e command line? or via the library?

With swish-e, I think the -m option sets the max results to return.

Are you doing any sorting by properties? The default sort is just by swishrank,
and I wouldn't expect that to slow down like you're describing (though I have no
evidence to support that expectation).
