+Hey, Ciprian. That sounds really slow, which makes me wonder if there\r
+are other things going on here. I have 155k messages, but notmuch new\r
+takes a fraction of a second for me. This initial indexing certainly\r
+takes a long time (hours potentially), but additions after that should\r
+be really fast. What version of notmuch are you using? What version of\r
