Hi, Gail I remember this problem. I'm running only OS X now, so the memory is fading, but I had the problem only on my Beige G3, never on my Pismo. In the indexing preferences, you should uncheck all the languages you don't need. If you have more than one language checked and it still takes a long time, try unchecking everything except English (assuming you're running the OS in English, of course). If that doesn't help, hopefully someone else will speak up, but I assume you could trash FBC Indexing preferences (if it exists; I'm really out on a limb at this point). Deleting Sherlock preferences might interfere with your Sherlock settings, custom search thingies, etc. If you don't have any, then I guess that would be safe. But I think I remember FBC Indexing prefs.
It still took a long time on the Beige (233 Mhz), but it was manageable.
