I have now switched to Xapian but, in a way, my original questions still stand. Is there a way of monitoring the progress of "update_index_one_list"? What can I do to the specification of the server to make that process go (much) faster?
I see you've already gone to the Xapian lists, which I think is the right place to ask. We appreciate that! But I hope everyone will feel free to ask such questions here (just don't get too upset if we suggest going to the upstream channels in lieu of providing answers ourselves :-).
If you do get an answer, feel free to bring it back and ask for Mailman automation for it (as a tracker issue, please, so it doesn't get lost). As I've mentioned before, it's That Time of Year when we start to prepare for GSoC. No guarantees and eventually the students choose their own projects, but suggestions are welcome.
By the way, just in case anyone else is looking to use Xapian, installing and setting up Xapian for HyperKitty can be boiled down to:
Thanks for the hints!
