Here is the part that stopped me cold:
   Indexing process will take fifty minutes to index 25 MByte files
   with Linux Box has Pentium 166 MHz + 64 MB.

That's over 8 hours just to index the main part of the site (roughly
200MB), which should be reindexed every day. For comparison, swish++
takes less than 10 minutes to index the Package section of the site
(roughly 97MB). Using this for the List Archives (around 2GB) isn't
even funny.
