There is a config file attribute, store_phrases, in 3.2.0b6 that if set to
no it would save about 27% indexing time; it will not make it quite as
fast as 3.1.6, but it takes a great step towards it;)  That said, I am not
too fond of it because it has slightly slowed down regular indexing;(  and
I totally concur with Gabriele's reasoning.
