[Typo3] optimising (optimizing) indexed search

Hi All

We recently launched a large(ish) typo3 site and everything is goind 
swimmingly, however as more and more pages are getting indexed (about 
10,000 live at the moment) the indexed search plugin has started to take 
longer to process searches. Our currently stats from the backend 
Indexing extension are:

index_phash:     8336
index_words:     53438
index_rel:     786879
index_grlist:     8336
index_section:     8336
index_fulltext:     8336

We're going to probably double in size in the next 6 months - and a lot 
of the pages are text rich, so my question is what are the best ways of 
optimising the indexed search to generate results quicker. Should I 
start adding indexed to tables in mysql, or are there any advanced 
options i can turn off using typoscript to speed up execution. The site 
I'm talking about is www.intersites.co.uk you can check out the search 
there (on the front page and also category and resource centre search 
boxes searching bits of the page tree).

I imagine long term we're going to have to start looking for another 
solution, but i'm really happy with indexed search and would like to use 
it for as long as possible.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards
Dave
