It's small and it doesn't take a lot of time ~30sec, but it will be
larger in the future and I don't recreate it for every release right
now(if there was no update to vocabulary), so it's one more reason why
I would prefer to distribute generated index, if possible.

Is it absolute requirement? Can I distribute prebuilt index in the
first versions and
make these changes later?
