Comment(by olly):

 So we don't forget this idea (which I posted to xapian-discuss):

 On trunk we could use the value upper bound as a cheaper check which
 would help a lot.  If a file is newer than the newest file in the index
 when we started then it definitely needs reindexing, and updated
 files will usually be newer than the most recent index run.  This check
 would also nicely handle the case of indexing starting from an empty
 database.
