Yes, FULLTEXT index works ok for 400 MB tables.
In my tests FULLTEXT index was created (with CREATE INDEX)
over 400 MB table in 15 minutes with new MySQL-4.0 code (not yet
available, sorry).
Everything works with 3.23 code too, but index creation
is 50-100 times slower (and resulting index is ~10% bigger).
