Robert,

Thanks for the advice.  I never even thought about that.  Unfortunately, 
the index-accesses to folder-updates ratio will be about 10:1.  Not to 
mention, the index will be pulled in "bursts" so it would slow things 
down a bit if it had to be updated every time it was read.  Not a bad 
idea though.
