This issue seems to crop up on the list a few times a year, and I
suspect more people hit it but don't report it (either they find the
solution via the list archives, or just condemn Xapian as slow).

I've been fixing a problem in expand, and I think it could be made
somewhat more efficient, but I wonder if we should remove $topterms from
the default "query" template, and offer a new "topterms" template with
it in.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
