That's a fairly small number of messages by the usual notmuch
standards. It's possible there is something pathological about the
interaction of notmuch and your particular set of mail. Running the
performance test suite on your machine would be one way of
telling. Also, the size of your notmuch database on disk; really huge
databases are a sign that something is going wrong. I think most people
find the database is 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the mail it is indexing, but
we have had some odd cases where the database is 2 or 3 times the mail,
and that was an indexing bug.
