cscope.  To make the db I use -q.  To invoke it via emacs, I use -q  
and -d:

        -d     Do not update the cross-reference.

        -q     Enable  fast  symbol  lookup  via an inverted index.  
This option
               causes  cscope  to  create   2   more   files    
(default   names
               ``cscope.in.out'' and ``cscope.po.out'') in addition  
to the nor-
               mal database. This allows a faster symbol search  
algorithm  that
               provides   noticeably   faster   lookup  performance   
for  large
               projects.
