CNFS + buffindexed on linux (no largefiles)

I think (but am not positive) that buffindexed is taking the time,
because if I run it in 'fork and flush' mode, it always overruns my
available /tmp space.... getting unsorted overview data faster then it
can store it.

aug 4 CVS snapshot.

Ideas on where to look?
