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