Crawl performance and index performance of SharePoint Portal Server 2003 decrease
In your server deployment of Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003, you may find that it takes a longer time than expected for SharePoint Portal Server to crawl content that is contained in Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Web sites. You experience a decrease in crawl performance and in index performance when the number of documents that are stored in document libraries of one or more Windows SharePoint Services Web sites on the portal site increases.
This problem may occur in situations where the document libraries contain a very large number of documents. Windows SharePoint Services generates a query for each document that is to be indexed. In situations where there are a large number of documents contained in document libraries, query performance may decrease, and it takes a longer time than expected for SharePoint Portal Server to crawl and index the documents. For example, you may experience the symptoms that are described earlier in the "Symptoms" section of this article when there are a total of 10 million documents contained in document libraries.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section of this article.Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more
information in this article when the information becomes
available.
For more information about managing search settings in SharePoint Portal Server, see the "Managing Search Settings" topic in the "Administration" chapter of the
Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Administrator's Guide.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Administrator's Guide (Administrator's Help.chm) is located in the Docs folder in the root of the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 CD.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
