One of the reasons the off-line indexing program was discontinued had to do with maintenance across a wide variety of platforms. At least that is what I remember from the discussions at the time.

Tom Huber said: Slow websites often have to do with available local memory. Before starting to index, make sure all other pages are closed and clear your local browser cache and history (for all time). Chrome is particularly brutal when it comes to clearing the cache and must be done "for all time" -- otherwise, it is going to go back to find a previously loaded page to see if it can load that instead of bringing down a new page from the site.
